While the trial of the "Newborn Gang," which caused the deaths of emergency infant patients in Istanbul by transferring them to the neonatal units of private hospitals they had previously agreed upon, continues, the defendant Hasan Basri Gök was asked, "Does 112 have a role in this matter?" The lawyer for the Ministry of Health objected to the question. The court panel accepted the objection, and the question was not asked.
