The shortage of drivers and vehicles in home health services in Afyonkarahisar has led to patient grievances, turning all eyes on the hospital management.
It is claimed that disruptions are occurring in health services at the Afyonkarahisar State Hospital Home Health Unit due to a shortage of vehicles and drivers.
Allegations of Driver and Vehicle Shortages
It was stated that various service problems are being experienced at the Afyonkarahisar State Hospital Home Health Unit due to a shortage of drivers and vehicles.
İsmail Sayın, the Afyonkarahisar Provincial President of the General Health-İş Union, reported that ongoing activities are being disrupted due to these deficiencies.
Personnel Lacking SRC Certification
It was claimed that a staff member assigned to cover the driver shortage could not start their duty because they did not possess the required SRC certificate (Professional Competency Certificate).

Citizens and union representatives criticized the hospital management and Chief Physician Osman Acar for remaining silent on the issue.
Expectations from the Provincial Health Directorate
It was stated that Provincial Health Director Dr. Hakkı Öztürk's work in the city is appreciated, and support is expected from him in resolving these issues.
