Death case in unlicensed health cabin in Gaziantep: Number of detained suspects rises to two

Ayşe El H. has been arrested in the trial regarding the death of 5-child mother Sultan Sever, who lost her life as a result of injections administered at an unlicensed health cabin she visited with a cough complaint in Şahinbey district of Gaziantep.

In the incident that occurred on May 30 in the Şahinbey district of Gaziantep, injections were administered to 5-child mother Sultan Sever, who applied to the Pazaryeri Health Cabin with a cough complaint. It was stated that after the initial intervention, the woman fell ill and was administered injections two more times at the same location. Sever, who was hospitalized, could not be saved despite all the efforts of the doctors.

At the first hearing of the trial held at the Gaziantep 35th Criminal Court of First Instance, Ayşe El H., who performed the injections, was arrested. With the decision to continue the detention of previously arrested workplace owner Ömer A., the number of detained defendants in the file increased to two. The investigation file included information that the health cabin was unlicensed and had previously been sealed by the Şahinbey District Health Directorate.

While the Forensic Medicine Institute report noted that Sultan Sever's death was linked to the medications and injections administered, it was determined that Ayşe El H., who administered the injections, was a midwifery department graduate rather than a nurse. On the other hand, the family's lawyer and relatives demand that the defendants be tried for "intentional killing with possible intent" instead of "manslaughter by negligence".
