In 2012 the hospital made the media when it fired the group of medical specialists that made up the dermatology department, which had organised healthcare, outside hospital time, using hospital equipment, without the hospital's knowledge.
In 2014 the unions stated that there was an atmosphere of fear in the hospital, after a video got out of personnel, made by the hospital to show hygiene ethics to personnel. The bad atmosphere was later denied in a statement by the hospital, the board and medical staff.
