He announced a comprehensive transformation that includes reopening an unused operating theatre, connecting the hospital to natural gas, and acquiring new medical devices such as a dental X‑ray unit and advanced eye‑clinic equipment. Evcimen emphasized transparent management and the goal of reducing patient travel to neighboring districts.
