The Ministry of Health refuted allegations in a newspaper that personnel of the Pharmacy and Drug Department were exiled, announcing that the relevant employee was assigned to another unit within the same building.

Explanation of Change of Duty Location

In a written statement issued by the Ministry of Health, it was pointed out that the claims in the press do not reflect the truth.

It was clearly emphasized that the personnel in question were not exiled, but assigned to another unit within the same building.

Investigation Process and Rationale

The Ministry stated that the investigation was initiated not upon the employee's complaint, but due to internal reports of illegal transactions and audit requirements.

It was stated that the matter was forwarded to the Prime Ministry Inspection Board and the investigation did not contain a prejudgment.

Recommendation for Unions

It was noted that allegations regarding drug safety must be handled with technical findings.

Unions were advised to avoid statements containing definitive judgments before the review process is completed.
