With the support of the Government of Tuzla Canton, the Department of Pathology at the Polyclinic for Laboratory Diagnostics of the University Clinical Center Tuzla (UKC Tuzla) has been equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology.
The new equipment includes advanced microscopes for pathology diagnostics, a specialized workstation for microscopic sampling, an automatic slide counter with coverslip compatibility, a frozen section apparatus, and a modern tissue processor.
The total value of the investment is approximately 500,000 KM.
“The acquisition of a robotic device for staining and matching tissue sections is of exceptional importance, not only because it ensures high-quality sample staining, but also because it eliminates all harmful emissions in the workroom. This device is one of five recently procured. Alongside the modernization of equipment, efforts are also underway to adapt the premises of the Polyclinic for Laboratory Diagnostics, which will further support the standardization and improvement of diagnostic services,” said Prof. Dr. Ermina Iljazović, Head of the Department of Pathology at the Polyclinic for Laboratory Diagnostics of the University Clinical Center Tuzla.
The Director of the University Clinical Center Tuzla, Prof. Dr. Šekib Umihanić, expressed his gratitude to the Government of Tuzla Canton for its continuous support.
“I would like to thank the Government of Tuzla Canton for helping us achieve our goals and provide better, higher-quality healthcare to our citizens. The commitment of the UKC Tuzla management, under my leadership, is focused on renewing equipment, improving workspaces, and strengthening staff training.
We are investing in modern medical technology to enhance diagnostics and treatment, enabling faster and more precise healthcare for our patients. At the same time, we are continuously supporting the education and professional development of our employees, as this is essential for maintaining a high standard of healthcare services.
Further investments are planned in the near future, which will contribute both to improving the quality of patient care and to creating better working conditions for our staff,” said Director Umihanić.
