Doctor Dismissed After Alleging Expired Medication, Poor Conditions at Military Post

A doctor stationed at the 9th Brigade Command has been dismissed following social media posts alleging serious issues within the military facility. Dr. Efran Usul, who began her service in December 2025, claimed in TikTok videos that expired or incomplete medications were used, and that there were shortages of essential supplies like drinking water and medical materials.

Usul's allegations also included an inability to prescribe medication for soldiers and a lack of pharmacy protocols. Despite being warned about mobile phone usage in military barracks, she continued posting videos. This led to disciplinary proceedings, including a pay cut and a reprimand, which she did not appeal. Reports indicate she also tore up official orders and insulted personnel attempting to serve them.

Further investigations into Usul's claims, which included filing numerous petitions and CİMER applications, were conducted by a six-person panel. This panel reviewed 10 regulations, interviewed 36 staff members, and examined 62 documents related to 31 specific allegations. The investigation also looked into the records of other doctors who served in the infirmary during the same period. Ultimately, the inquiry found no basis for Usul's accusations regarding the use of expired medication or shortages of essential supplies.
