For these Siemens Healthineers clinics will supply the medical equipment and supplies, to render services of technical and service support and also management of the technical personnel. Besides, the German company will be engaged in creation of laboratories in the field of biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, emergency aid, genetics and pathology.

This project integrates in itself our experience of equipping of laboratories with our service portfolio — the CEO of Siemens Healthineers Bernd Montag says. — It is an important milestone for us and at the same time serves as the proof of how we help clients to solve problems and to reach tops where they work. We developed the individual solution for our partner of DiA and the Turkish Ministry of Health which will comprehensively support their medical business.

The project in which it was involved by Siemens Healthineers became a part of the restructuring of the Turkish health care system begun in 2003 within which at Bilkent University in Ankara the medical complex on 3800 beds was constructed. It is planned that to the middle of 2018 more than 10 thousand medics who are daily servicing more than 25 thousand patients will work here.

The new hospital in Mersin expected 1300 patients is put into operation at the end of January, 2017.^[1]
