Court of Accounts Report Identifies Incorrect Transactions for Ministry of Health
The Court of Accounts audit report detected examination records opened on behalf of patients in intensive care, granting hardship bonuses to administrative personnel, and double payments.
In the Court of Accounts' 2025 Audit Report for the Ministry of Health submitted to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), it was determined that due to deficiencies between IT systems, examination records were opened in family healthcare centers on behalf of patients in intensive care units, unjustified hardship bonuses were granted to administrative personnel, and duplicate additional payments were made.
Details of the Audit Report
The 2025 Audit Report of the Ministry of Health, prepared by the Court of Accounts, was submitted to the TBMM and revealed erroneous transactions originating from information systems.
Intensive Care and Examination Records
It was emphasized that examination records were opened at family health centers on behalf of patients staying in intensive care units, and it was practically impossible for these patients to leave the hospital and apply for care.
Hardship Bonus for Administrative Personnel
It was determined that actual service duration increments (hardship bonuses) were wrongfully applied to some administrative personnel who did not actually serve in risky health services.
Duplicate Additional Payments
It was determined that additional payments were made for the same period to temporarily assigned personnel and some resident physicians both from the institution where their cadre is located and from the unit where they work.
The Ministry's Efforts
The Ministry of Health announced that procedures have been initiated for the refund of premiums paid to the Social Security Institution (SGK) and that necessary control mechanisms will be established between automation systems.
Status of Financial Statements
The Court of Accounts stated that these identified deficiencies did not alter the general audit opinion regarding the Ministry's 2025 financial statements.
