The Ministry of Health translated the term “daily number of cases” by “number of patients per day”; Instead of “intubated patient,” he began to use the expression “seriously ill.”
* The doctor has damaged the relationship of trust, which is the first requirement of the relationship with the patient. The relationship of trust between the ministry and society has also suffered. A safe fight against the pandemic has not been demonstrated.
* How justified the calls for transparency made by the Chambers of Physicians and the TTB until today has been revealed by the scientifically contradictory statements of Minister Koca.
* To this day, the effort not to share data openly and transparently, unfortunately, has served no purpose other than the spread of the epidemic and the inability to control it.
* It is obvious that economics and politics outperform science in this situation. The goal should be to fight the epidemic.
* Considering that it is announced that almost all the issues related to the epidemic are advancing in line with the recommendations of the Scientific Committee, it is unknown if this situation regarding the data is suggested by the Scientific Committee and this situation puts the Scientific Committee in responsibility.

* You cannot be successful showing low cases, changing terms, making different statements every day. You can control the epidemic only by fighting together with society, healthcare professionals, medical chambers, TTB, and scientists.
* From here, as TTB, we ask the Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca to explain the data in a truthful and transparent way and, if there is pressure on the Scientific Committee, that the members of the council disclose them. We emphasize that society expects an apology first. If they are not done, we invite the Minister of Health to resign.
