SENEGAL
An eye hospital that was built and equipped by Turkish entrepreneurs in Senegal was opened with a ceremony on Wednesday. Senegalese Prime Minister Aminata Touré and Turkish Ambassador to Senegal Zeynep Sibel Algan also were among scores of guests at the opening ceremony.
The hospital that was built within the scope of Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists’ (TUSKON) African expansion program will be the most modern eye hospital in Western Africa.
Despite the hospital was opened officially today, it has been serving patients since November 2013.
Earlier reports in the Turkish media had claimed that the government had mulled over a comprehensive investigation into Bank Asya following an ongoing corruption and bribery case. The papers cited the Hizmet movement — with which Bank Asya is affiliated — as the hand behind the police operations into persons close to the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party). The same reports implied a retaliatory attack on Bank Asya over alleged abuses within the bank.
