In late September 2026, the TRNC announced the upcoming opening of its first autism center dedicated to adults over the age of 18. Minister of Labour and Social Security Oğuzhan Hasipoğlu stated the facility would serve individuals with severe autism and provide respite care for families. Following this announcement, the Mehmet and Nazife Taşker Autism Center officially opened in Lefkoşa at the former Çağlayan Child Nursery. Operating under the Department of Social Services, the center has an initial capacity of 25 people. The opening ceremony included Prime Minister Ünal Üstel and Minister Hasipoğlu, with local officials noting the facility addresses a critical regional need for inclusive support. Subsequent reports confirm the center aims to support the social participation of individuals with autism while providing necessary assistance to their families.
