On Wednesday, August 7, the Minister of Health of the TRNC, Hakan Dincürek, said that a military hospital will be opened in Kyrenia in the near future, it will be put into operation by the end of the month.
Dinchyurek noted that there was a military hospital in Kyrenia, but it was “insufficiently spacious and had poor technical equipment.”
“This new hospital will be able to provide services to our country, our people, our soldiers, members of the Turkish Armed Forces, commanders and civilian personnel. An institution is being created where military personnel, civilian personnel and the population can be served,” the minister added. The hospital has a capacity of 100 beds and has been under development since 2021.
Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Burhanettin Duran approved the opening of a military hospital in Cyprus.
The deputy leader of the opposition IYI party, Turhan Çomez, called on the government to focus on opening military hospitals in Turkey itself, “where good, highly qualified doctors work.” He stressed that the lack of military hospitals in Turkey poses a great risk to national security.
