Girne Municipality has announced the launch of a free hearing screening program for residents of the region. The initiative is implemented by the Social Affairs Department of the municipality with the participation of audiologist Suzan Dayı and aims at the early detection of hearing problems among citizens.

According to the municipality's statement, screenings will be conducted every Thursday from 10:00 to 16:00 in different areas of the district. During the appointment, residents will be able to undergo a preliminary hearing check and, if necessary, will be referred to specialized medical institutions for further diagnosis and treatment.

The first stage of the program will take place today at the Ozanköy village administration. Following this, testing will be held on May 14 in Beylerbeyi, May 21 in Zeytinlik, June 4 at the Edremit village administration, and June 11 at the Girne Municipality building.
