In Istanbul, a scandal involving price bargaining during surgery has brought ethical issues in the healthcare sector back into focus. The allegations of bargaining with patients at the operating table have sparked significant outrage.

The Bakirkoy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the incident at the private hospital. The accountant H.Y., who allegedly bargained with the patient, was arrested.

Details of the incident reveal that the patient encountered price offers from the accountant during surgery. The patient claimed that they were asked for 50,000 lira for the third stent.

The Provincial Health Directorate halted the operations of the angiography unit at the hospital and imposed an administrative fine. It is emphasized that strict adherence to ethical rules in healthcare services is essential to prevent such incidents.

This incident may lead to an increase in corruption cases in the healthcare sector. It is crucial to take necessary measures to maintain public trust in healthcare services.
