North Macedonia Ministry of Health reorganizes CT services during equipment repairs

The Ministry of Health, in coordination with the University Institute of Radiology, has announced that CT scanning machines are currently undergoing repairs due to technical defects. To ensure continuity of care and timely diagnostics, a reorganization of patient services has been implemented.

Until the machines at the University Institute of Radiology are operational again, patients will be redirected to other facilities in Skopje according to a specific schedule:

- JZU GOB ‘8-mi Septemvri’ (Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology) will handle scans from 08:00 to 14:00 and from 20:00 to 02:00. - JZU Surgical Clinic ‘St. Naum Ohridski’ will handle scans from 14:00 to 20:00 and from 02:00 to 08:00.

The Ministry stated that patient safety is a priority and is making efforts to restore the equipment as quickly as possible while seeking additional capacity in other public health institutions. Authorities have requested that the situation not be used for political purposes.
