Scandal at West Tallinn Hospital: Clinic Head Dismissed After Irregular Appointment Revealed; Whistleblower Fired

A scandal has rocked West Tallinn Central Hospital following revelations about the appointment of a clinic head. Signe Linkolm-Kadak was reportedly chosen to lead the newly established gynecology center under the hospital's women's clinic, despite lacking the necessary management experience stipulated by the competition rules.

Sources suggest Linkolm-Kadak maintained good relations with the hospital's director, Vallo Velke, which may have influenced her selection. The controversy intensified when Piret Veerus, the individual credited with uncovering the alleged irregularities in the appointment process, was dismissed from her role as clinic manager.

The situation has drawn significant attention, highlighting concerns about transparency and fairness in the hospital's administrative appointments. The dismissal of Veerus, who exposed the issue, has further fueled public scrutiny of the hospital's internal practices.
