4 people were injured when an elevator fell at Ankara Capital City Hospital, which has a capacity of 3,600 beds, which will be officially opened this month. It was reported that the condition of two of the injured is serious.

However, the Ministry of Health announced that the news on some websites that an elevator fell at Ankara City Hospital and four people were injured does not reflect the truth.

In a written statement from the Ministry of Health, it was stated that some websites included news titled “Elevator fell at Ankara City Hospital, 4 people were injured”.

The statement, which stated that the allegations in the news were completely unfounded and untrue and that no such incident had occurred, noted the following:

“Such intentional news, made without any basis or confirmation, at the desk, is incompatible with journalistic ethics and professional ethics. Legal action has been initiated against the newspaper that is the source of the news and all news sites that irresponsibly shared this fabricated news. We leave the journalist and the institution that made such unfounded news about Bilkent City Hospital, one of the world's largest health investments and whose official opening will be held on March 14, 2019, to the public's discretion.”
