The University's medical clinic was founded in 1981 to provide medical services to the University’s workers and students, in addition to emergency cases that require transferring the patient to the hospital. The Clinic also provides psychological counseling to students, in addition to issuing medical reports for students and workers.
The Clinic’s doctor is a member of various university-based medical committees, including the Health Insurance Committee, the Public Safety Committee, the Smoking Combating Committee, the Public Health Committee and the Cafeteria Supervision Committee at the Old and New Campuses.
The clinic is also staffed by a physician and a qualified nurse. This clinic provides primary and emergency healthcare to students and staff. It refers some cases to nearby hospitals and private clinics, and in special cases, abroad. The clinic also disseminates information about health awareness, hygiene and the environment, and it offers first aid courses. It advises the committee responsible for maintaining hygiene in food outlets. There are two clinics, one each of the Old and New Campuses.
The Clinic’s branch at the New Campus was established through direct funding from the Turkish Prime Minister.
