TTB: Temporary assignments are the responsibility of the public authority!

Health and Social Service Workers Union (SES) Headquarters shared the following information about the accident: “Our health worker friend, 2 physicians and 1 driver, who went to Sinop Boyabat on assignment, lost their lives as a result of a traffic accident. We offer our condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. Health workers can continue to live and survive with permanent solutions, not with temporary assignments.
General Health-Is: We pay the price for wrong policies with our lives!
General Health-Work Union made the following statement after the accident: “This time, we lost our healthcare workers to traffic terrorism. Healthcare workers continue to pay the price for the political power's inability to manage. How will we be compensated for the lives of our colleagues who we lost after a temporary assignment made due to the shortage of doctors in our country as a result of difficult and bad working conditions and the lack of end to violence in healthcare? What needs to be done is for the political power to immediately abandon policies that commercialize health, eliminate mobbing, violence, intense and poor working conditions that cause healthcare workers to migrate abroad, and employ healthcare personnel in line with developed country standards. We are calling out to the government once again: "The mill cannot turn with water." "Those who say that if they go to doctors, they should go, are trying to cover up this deficit with temporary appointments, when they should be appointing doctors to entire districts. "We pay the price for your wrong policies with our lives."
Condolences from HEP-SEN
As a result of the collision between a hospital service vehicle carrying medical personnel and a car on the Sinop-Boyabat highway, 2 people, including 1 doctors and 4 healthcare worker, died and 2 people were injured. We wish a speedy recovery to the injured, may God have mercy on the deceased healthcare workers, and offer our condolences and patience to their loved ones and the entire healthcare community.
