A hospital in Turkey refused to return a Russian woman who fell into a coma to her homeland because of a debt.

The woman has been in the hospital for almost a month after the operation.

Her relatives cannot take her home because of her debt to the hospital for treatment, writes AiF Tyumen .

A Russian woman flew to Turkey with her grandchildren for a vacation.

At that time, the woman had a heart attack and fell into a coma. The woman has not yet regained consciousness since June 27.

The clinic refuses to release the patient due to a large debt for treatment.

Initially, the treatment costs were planned to be covered by insurance, but the company offered to compensate only 5% of the costs.

The relatives ended up owing the clinic more than 1.7 million rubles.

In addition, transporting a person in a coma on board an airplane is estimated to cost approximately 90 million rubles.

The Russian woman's family contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Investigative Committee with a request for help.
