In short
A medical chamber inquiry is a professional disciplinary file about a physician. It does not stand in for a prosecutor's investigation. Law No. 6023 on the Turkish Medical Association writes that there is an honour division in every medical chamber. If the writing that arrived puts the board's name otherwise, the name on the paper is read. Article 39, which stands as the statute's penalty provision, carries in the official text an annulment note by the Constitutional Court's decision dated 11 February 2025, E. 2024/177, K. 2025/40. This article does not put a tariff or a period of bar from the profession into that gap.
Where the patient's complaint goes is in the record on the process of complaining of a doctor. This text does not rewrite that petition in the physician's name.
The chamber file and the prosecutor's file
The letterhead of the chamber writing is the medical chamber. The letterhead of the prosecutor's writing is the chief public prosecutor's office. File numbers, the answer that is asked for, and the annexes are kept apart. The chamber examines the act from the professional discipline side. The prosecutor's office examines the allegation of an offence. Even if the two examinations mention the same patient, the result of one is not the judgment of the other.
If the chamber file has arrived and the prosecutor's file has not, the prosecutor's office is not treated as opened too. The reverse is also true. This text does not tell how a criminal statement is given or how the record is changed. The physician's answer at the chamber is not a clinical note added afterwards to the patient's file.
The compensation route at a public hospital is a third paper too. That route stands, as the patient's administrative action, in the record on compensation at a public hospital. The chamber inquiry is not the petition of that action. The closing of one of the three does not close the others by itself. While the chamber file waits, the prosecutor's office may have decided that there is no ground for prosecution. This decision does not have the chamber file treated as closed. Even if the chamber has written a result, this result is not a criminal court's judgment. A court judgment is not pasted in place of the chamber decision either.
The physician does not mix the annexes of the two envelopes. The answer given to the chamber is not sent as a copy of the statement given to the prosecutor's office. The method of a statement is not in this text. The chamber answer is given to the professional act written in the charge. The clinical technique of the act is not told. What is told is which paper belongs to which authority.
The state of the complaint that stands at the chamber
If the patient wrote to the chamber, the text in front of the physician may not be the whole of the patient's petition. What is read is the charge the chamber served. The charge says which act is asked about from the side of deontology or professional practice. Every sentence in the petition is not treated as having passed into the charge. A sentence that did not pass is not treated as a nullity in the defence either. If it stands in the annex, it stands as an annex.
Whether the act is a medical practice is debated in the record on medical malpractice. Against whom the action is brought is in the record on a malpractice action. The chamber writing does not build the list of parties of the statement of claim.
Working in Ankara does not take every physician to the same chamber's board. The chamber of registration is read from the letterhead of the service. The office address does not choose the chamber. If the physician works in more than one province, each letterhead shows its own chamber. One chamber's writing does not have the other chamber's inquiry treated as opened. It does not have it treated as not opened either. Whichever letterhead is in hand is the one that is read.
If the charge is tied to a patient record, the tied record is looked for in the annex. If there is no annex, the charge is not completed with the file in the physician's memory. If there is an annex, the annex is not treated as having confirmed every sentence of the charge. Confirmation or refutation is not the judgment of this page. Where a judgment is not built, the annex still stands. An annex that stands is not used to rewrite the clinical line. The line stays as it was on its date.
The honour division and the annulment note
The statute describes the chamber honour division as a board chosen from among the members of the chamber. If the writing says "honour board", the paper on which that name passes is kept. The name of the board is not the list of the sanction that will be given.
Because Article 39 of the statute carries an annulment note, this text does not treat the old table as in force. A new list is not written in place of the table either. The name and the period of the sanction are not in this paragraph. A period of bar from the profession is not written. If a decision has arrived, the result of the decision is read from the decision's own sentence. While there is no decision, a result is not promised. If the route of objection is written on the paper, that route is read. A number of days is not taken from this text.
The annulment note is not a promise that every writing in hand is void by itself either. The date of the act, the date of the writing, and the date of the decision are on the papers. This page does not choose a regime from those dates. A regime that is not chosen does not require the physician not to read the file. What is read is the name of the board, the sentence of the charge, and, if there is one, the decision's own result. If there is no result, the absence is not turned from the annulment note into a sentence of acquittal.
The higher-board stage is understood from the writing too. If the writing mentions only the chamber board, a higher-board decision is not treated as existing. If the writing mentions the higher board, the higher-board writing is not put in place of the chamber decision. If there are two writings, both stand. One does not carry the other's period into this text. If the period is in the legend under the writing, it is read from there. If there is no legend, a period is not assumed. A period that is not assumed is not a table of bar from the profession either. The table is not on this page.
The line the physician reads
The physician separates which act the answer asked of them is tied to, which patient record is the annex, and which board is looking. The answer is given to the charge. The answer is not an occasion to rewrite the clinical line. The line stays as it stands in the file. A word said afterwards does not change the date of the note in the annex.
A request for a defence and a board decision are not the same envelope. If the request has arrived and the decision has not, one does not act as if there were a decision. If the decision has arrived, whether the decision has become final is also read from the legend under the decision. If there is no legend, finality is not assumed.
If the time for an answer is written on the request, that writing is read. If it is not written, the time is not taken from a neighbouring statute or from the old table. A time that is not taken does not mean the physician will not answer either. The answer is given to the charge. The patient record that stands in the annex of the answer does not change the original of the record. An original that does not change does not erase the subject of the answer either. The subject is the act the chamber asked about.
If the decision says "removal from the proceeding" or a sanction, the sentence is left as it is. A sentence that is left is not renamed on this page. A sentence that is not renamed is not made a prosecutor's judgment either. A chamber decision stays a chamber decision. Its staying does not mean the physician accepted every sentence. Not accepting is not a promise that the decision will come out of the file either.
The three papers the physician separates
The physician separates the file that came from the chamber into three pieces. The first is the covering writing that carries the name of the board and the file number. The second is the charge that says the act asked of them. The third, if there is one, is the result sentence of the board decision. If all three are not there, the piece that is absent is not completed from the piece that is there. If the covering writing has arrived and the charge has not, a charge is not invented. If the charge has arrived and the decision has not, one does not act as if there were a decision. If the decision has arrived, the result is read from the sentence of the decision. This page does not add a period or a tariff to that sentence.
If a patient's petition, an epicrisis, or correspondence stands in the annex, each annex is on its own date. If the date differs from the date of the charge, the difference is not erased. A different date does not widen the charge. An annex that does not widen still stands in the file. An annex that stands is not a tool for the physician to rewrite the clinical line. The line stays as it is. The line that remains is set side by side with the act the chamber asked about. Setting them side by side does not judge on this page whether the act was in place, or not in place, from the ethical side.
The article that carries the annulment note does not stop the reading of these three papers. If reading stops, the physician will not have seen the charge in hand. Not seeing it is not this text's suggestion. The suggestion is not to write a table. Where a table is not written, a period of bar from the profession is not written either. If the period stands as a figure in the decision's own sentence, that figure is not carried here. A figure that is not carried does not mean the decision was not read at all. What is read is what the decision said. What it said is not turned into a prosecutor's judgment and a compensation petition.
Conclusion
A medical chamber inquiry is the physician's professional disciplinary file. It does not stand in for the prosecutor's office, the compensation action, and the patient's complaint petition. A tariff and a period of bar from the profession are not written. The frame is on the health law page. The name of the board in the file may be asked, together with the file, through contact.
The basis is Article 31 of Law No. 6023 and Article 39, which carries the annulment note.
