State Laboratory inaugurated in Cyprus

Health Minister Hakan Dinçyürek inaugurated the new State Laboratory, a facility intended to support public health as well as trade, economy, imports, and exports. The new laboratory replaces the previous facility, which became unusable following a fire approximately ten years ago.

During the ceremony, Dinçyürek highlighted ongoing health sector investments, noting that the Dikmen Health Center recently opened, with Girne and Güzelyurt hospitals expected to open within days. He also stated that the Nicosia State Hospital will serve as a flagship facility, while construction on Karpaz Hospital is slated for completion by the end of the year.

Dinçyürek noted that with support from Turkey, efforts were made to dispose of chemical substances affected by the previous fire before planning and constructing the new building.
