Acibadem Sistina Hospital sent a reaction to the editorial staff of the investigative journalist platform “IRL.mk” on their story on COVID-19, in which they defiantly insulted the journalists who worked on that investigative story. Even though there were not enough arguments in their response, they required an apology and the text to be withdrawn.
