SHSKUK listed as new services that have existed for years

The University Clinical Hospital Service (SHSKUK) has listed as new services during 2025 at the University Clinical Center (QKUK) a range of services that date back many years.

These services are listed in the SHSKUK's January-December 2025 work report, which was approved by the Board of Directors on February 18.

The report with this content, which was approved by the board, was published on the official website on March 4, and then updated on March 26, under the justification that there were some technical inconsistencies in it.

In the updated report, the "consolidated services" section has been added to the row of the table for new services.

However, based on the responses provided by the clinics themselves, there are services that existed many years earlier and were implemented even before.
