Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot submitted a police complaint after preliminary findings suggested that blood samples were collected from patients without their informed consent during a research project in the cardiology department, according to a hospital statement released on Sunday.

The filing came after initial reviews raised concerns about potential misconduct connected to the study procedures.

Hospital leadership informed the Health Ministry about the allegations and outlined the immediate actions implemented in response.

Cardiology department services are operating normally, the hospital noted, while additional safeguards were introduced to support ongoing patient care and safety.

Earlier complaint targets cardiology department director

This new complaint follows a prior filing against Professor Kobi George, director of the cardiology department, regarding the alleged reduction of an internal medicine residency period under his oversight.

A committee was formed following claims by a resident physician that residency documentation had been altered to permit cardiology trainees to skip the mandatory internal medicine rotation while records falsely indicated completion.

The earlier complaint remains under examination.
