In North Macedonia, the Ministry of Health and the University Institute of Radiology announced a reorganization of CT scanning services due to technical defects in equipment. To maintain diagnostic continuity, patients in Skopje are being redirected to the JZU GOB ‘8-mi Septemvri’ and the JZU Surgical Clinic ‘St. Naum Ohridski’ according to a specific schedule. The Ministry stated that efforts are underway to restore the equipment and ensure patient safety.

In Serbia, the Sremska Mitrovica Health Center reported a delay in the commencement of regular MRI examinations. Director Dr. Vojislav Mirnić clarified that the delay is not due to technical issues with the new 199 million dinar device, but rather the need for ongoing training of local radiologists. The center is negotiating with specialists from Novi Sad and Sremska Kamenica to interpret scans and assist in staff training to prevent further service delays.
