How can I get examined?

Patients with no patient file can get examined by taking a number to be registered for any Hematology Polyclinic from the help desks located in the ground floor.

Patients who want to schedule an appointment can make it via Centralized Hospital Appointment System (MHRS) by dialing 182. However, these patients have to visit Internal Medicine Polyclinic first and if a further treatment is required, they start the necessary procedures.

If patients referred from other departments for consultation, they can contact our department within the examination hours to be examined in the same day.
