"It was stated that the reporting staff was exiled: The background of the corruption allegation in Kırşehir."

The allegations that corruption occurred in the Palliative Care Unit of Kırşehir Training and Research Hospital's Chief Physician's Office, and that the personnel who reported the corruption to CİMER were exiled, have been reported in the media.

THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE OF DUTY IS NOT 'WHISTLEBLOWING'

According to a report by Medya Ankara, the personnel in question underwent three separate investigations since 2020 and was last assigned to the Kaman district by the Governorship for allegedly insulting their superiors.

The personnel H.K., who was reported to have been penalized in 2020 for making false news that did not reflect the truth about the institution where they worked via social media, was also penalized in 2022 for insulting their colleagues.

In 2022, H.K. was given a written warning as a result of an investigation conducted due to the allegation of insulting their superior; however, in September 2024, an investigation was initiated against H.K. for allegations of insult and threat against the hospital director and deputy director, resulting in a penalty of 3 days' pay and a change of duty location.
