ANKARA - President Tayyip Erdogan opened one of the world’s largest hospitals in the Turkish capital Ankara on Thursday, brushing aside criticism of what is the latest in a series of mega projects that have marked his 16 years in power.
Erdogan said that those opposed to such hospitals were against all major projects built by his governments. Istanbul’s new $12 billion airport, billed as one of the world’s biggest, is scheduled to open fully next month. Turkey is also planning to build a $16 billion canal that would turn the western side of Istanbul into an island.
Several hospitals across the Turkish capital have been shut down or are being closed to redirect staff and patients to the new Ankara City Hospital, while some of the equipment is also being brought over to the new complex.Critics say the hospital’s size makes it harder to control the spread of infections and distances within the complex will be detrimental to patient service and the work of medical staff.
Adiyaman said the size and location of the Ankara City Hospital posed problems for traffic around the hospital, which is located on one of the city’s largest and most used roads. Erdogan, whose AK Party has Islamist roots, is popular among more pious Turks but secular Turks say his policies infringe on private lives and personal rights.
