Authorities confirmed that five of the medics seen in the video were fired for violating “all health protocols.” Clinic bosses responded to the incident in a statement, saying, “The respect for dignity of every patient is the most important thing in our clinic, therefore we strongly regret the inappropriate behaviour of those who are working as professionals in the health sector, seen in the video recorded in one of our surgery rooms.”

They added that the employees’ behavior was “against the dignity of the patient and [broke] the protocols and the political values of [their] institution focused on the quality and humanisation of [their] service.”

The clinic also apologized, with a spokesperson saying, “This is the first time in seven years of good service that we are living a situation like this, and we have taken some measures in order not to repeat these horrific acts.”
