Ljubljana UKC Diagnostic Center Faces Questions Following Opening
The Ljubljana University Clinical Centre (UKC) recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly renovated diagnostic-therapeutic center, highlighting improvements to patient spaces. However, concerns have arisen regarding the center’s functionality following the event. Initially, hospital beds were returned to the building, intended for temporary use during the opening.
Televisions, slated to reduce wait times for dialysis patients and those with transplanted kidneys on the nephrology ward, were subsequently removed and withdrawn. “The rooms are spacious, bright, isolated, and air-conditioned,” explained UKC general manager Marko Jug during the opening. Despite the positive description, the center remained largely empty two months after its grand opening.
The relocation was initially delayed due to difficulties securing adequate water supply for the upper floors of the building. The UKC rushed to open the center ahead of the pre-election period. Opposition parties have expressed skepticism, stating, “Now it has come out that we have been pointing out this fact all along.” The situation raises questions about the preparedness of the UKC for its patients and the overall functionality of the newly renovated diagnostic center.
Further investigation into the operational challenges is ongoing.

“It’s deeply concerning that a newly opened facility is already experiencing such significant issues with its water supply.”
