Supported by a 600,000 KM investment from the Government of Tuzla Canton, the initial stage covered approximately 700 square meters. Improvements to the facility include renovated postpartum wards, new patient rooms, and apartments with private bathrooms. Technical upgrades involved replacing the electrical network, flooring, internal joinery, and radiators, alongside the installation of an uninterruptible power supply and the establishment of a new open delivery room space. The facility, which manages roughly 3,000 births annually, intends to proceed with two additional phases to complete the total reconstruction, specifically targeting the newborn unit and the delivery room. The completion of this first phase is noted as part of broader regional healthcare and infrastructure developments occurring across the Balkans. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Balkan region sees major infrastructure and healthcare developments Regional developments across the Balkans highlight major investments in healthcare, highway infrastructure, maritime accessibility, and large-scale environmental reforestation programs. 54 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tuzla-maternity-hospital-completes-first-phase-of-reconstruction ### 2026-08-28: University Clinical Center Tuzla invests 4.65 million KM in new radiotherapy equipment University Clinical Center Tuzla has signed a 4.65 million KM contract to acquire a second linear accelerator to improve oncology treatments and reduce patient waiting lists. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-clinical-center-tuzla-invests-465-million-km-in-new-radiotherapy-equipment --- Cite as: UKC Tuzla maternity hospital modernization.
