Erdoğan violated Full Day Law, CHP deputy claims
CHP İzmir deputy Aytunç Çıray held a press conference at Parliament on Wednesday, during which he spoke about Erdoğan's surgery, which he underwent at the Marmara University Training and Research Hospital in İstanbul on Saturday. Çıray claimed that the doctor who performed the surgery was Professor Dursun Buğra, who is employed at a private hospital in İstanbul. “This is against the Full Day Law, which was issued by the Erdoğan government by a statutory decree. The prime minister violated his own regulation by requesting a doctor from a private hospital.”
Prime Minister Erdoğan used his right to choose his own surgeon and citizens should also have the same right, but the Full Day Law took the citizens' right to choose their own doctors away, Çıray stated at the conference, and added that it was a case of double standards.
Relaying that according to the Full Day Law, a doctor working in a private hospital cannot give any medical treatment at a university hospital, İstanbul Medical Chamber Chairman Özdemir Aktan said that when the prime minister comes into question, legislation can be bent, but that this is not equal.
Hoping Erdoğan recovers quickly, Aktan said they expect the Ministry of Health to consider many unequal situations that have occurred as a consequence of the Full Day Law in Turkey's health system and make the necessary changes to the law.
The Ministry of Health made amendments to the Full Day Law in October to allow doctors who left their state posts after the Full Day Law was enforced to continue working privately to work in university hospitals as contractors.
Dr. Buğra was one of the doctors who left their state posts to continue working in a private practice, leaving his position at the Marmara University Training and Research Hospital to continue working at the private American Hospital.
According to the amendment, doctors who left their state posts at universities can be employed as contracted academics and be paid hourly. A contracted doctor can train students and serve the needs of patients in university hospitals, which would mean Erdoğan and his doctor did not violate the law.
