The truth turned out to be different! The rumor about a "hospital for Syrians" stirred up confusion.

Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu, in a statement made in Amasya, denied claims on social media that a special maternity and children's hospital would be built for Syrians. Memişoğlu stated that the claims stemmed from a misinterpretation of words spoken 5-6 years ago.

Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu visited Amasya. During his visit to the Amasya Governorship, where he was welcomed with flowers, Memişoğlu signed the honor book and then met with Governor Önder Bakan. Minister Memişoğlu told reporters that they are working to improve health services in the ancient and historic city of Amasya.

MINISTER MEMİŞOĞLU DENIES CLAIMS OF "SPECIAL HOSPITAL FOR SYRIANS"

Memişoğlu expressed the following regarding claims shared on some social media accounts that "a special maternity and children's hospital for Syrians will be built in Konya": "I do not understand what our friends who spread a few words said under the conditions of that day 5-6 years ago as disinformation on social media were thinking. We provide all kinds of services to our guests, but I think it is wrong for those who maliciously shared a few statements made by our provincial director 5 years ago on social media."

"THERE IS NO SUCH SITUATION"

We do not have such a situation, and we cannot comprehend it. I want to emphasize that we are obliged to provide health services in the best possible way to all citizens of the Republic of Turkey for social purposes, alongside our guests, and even to those who come from any country in the world seeking health services as part of health tourism, and we are doing our best. We will do even better. Therefore, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, the whole world saw how good our health system, our healthcare workers, and our health infrastructure are.
