Işıkver Carries Medical Hospital Employees' Grievances to the Turkish Parliament

MHP Elazığ Deputy Semih Işıkver brought the allegations that approximately 370 personnel working at Elazığ Private Medical Hospital have not received their wages for 3.5 years and that their employment contracts were terminated to the agenda of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, submitting a parliamentary question to Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Elazığ Deputy Semih Işıkver prepared a written parliamentary question upon complaints that approximately 370 healthcare personnel and other employees were victimized due to managerial problems at the hospital. The motion was submitted with the request to be answered by Minister of Health Mr. Kemal Memişoğlu within the scope of Article 98 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey and Articles 96 and 99 of the Parliament's Internal Regulations.

It was stated that the employees have not received their wages for approximately 3.5 years, and this situation creates great difficulties in meeting rent, bills, and basic living expenses. Furthermore, the allegations that employment contracts were unilaterally terminated by the hospital management and that labor receivables were not paid were also included in the motion.

It was emphasized that this situation could negatively affect both the employees and their families as well as citizens receiving services from the hospital. Clarification of the allegations was requested in terms of ensuring that private health institutions operate in compliance with legislation and protecting patient safety.
