Diyarbakır hospital relocation concerns

Concerns have been raised regarding the potential relocation of medical facilities in the Fiskaya district of Diyarbakır. Reports suggest that once the new city hospital opens in Talaytepe, existing hospitals in the Fiskaya area, including the Selahattin Eyyubi Hospital, may be moved to the new location.

There are local arguments that moving these institutions, along with the tax office and gendarmerie command, could lead to significant traffic congestion and disrupt local life. Some observers suggest that instead of relocating the services, the existing Selahattin Eyyubi Hospital should be rebuilt as a specialized center for chest diseases, utilizing the natural oxygen-rich environment provided by the nearby Tigris River and valley.
