Health Ministry Addresses '200 Hidden Bodies' Claims

The Ministry of Health has issued a statement regarding the continuing circulation and exploitation of false information about 'hidden bodies' online. The statement reads: 'Once again, the Ministry of Health denies the information regarding the '200 hidden bodies'. Relatives, media representatives, and members of parliament have had the opportunity over the week to tour all branches of the Forensic Medicine Scientific Practical Center and have thoroughly reviewed the conditions for the preservation of bodies and remains, as well as the registration process and their numbers—personally confirming that the allegations made are mere fabrications, and that there cannot be any talk of '200 hidden bodies'. The Ministry of Health urges everyone to refrain from spreading false information and causing additional pain to grieving parents.'
