Deputy Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Emine Alp Meşe visited Hitit University Scientific Technical Application and Research Center (HÜBTUAM), which operates in line with the needs of our city, region and country with scientific researches and projects.

Within the scope of the visit, HÜBTÜAM Director Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş, Deputy Minister Prof. Dr. MEŞE and the accompanying delegation presented a briefing on the activities of the research center.

Stating that HÜBTÜAM is one of the rare centers in Turkey that has designed a project as a laboratory, Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş said, “Currently, laboratory services are provided in 9 active areas. Our aim, beyond the standardized laboratory culture, was to realize a laboratory with the mission of a third-generation university, in line with the realities of the age. In this sense, we are taking firm steps forward, ”he said.

Explaining that an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Health and Hitit University in 2016 on the mechanical analysis of medical devices, Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş said the following:

“The time taken for infrastructure works, accreditation studies, preparation of the data requested by the Ministry of Health, and acquisition of competence has been successfully completed. In 2017, our laboratory gained the feature of a laboratory authorized by the Ministry of Health for the mechanical analysis of dental implants used in Turkey. "

"The most competent laboratory in Turkey ..."

Pointing out that they have gained the feature of being the only laboratory accredited by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency in 2018, Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş said, “It would not be right for us to serve directly based on a single parameter. "We wanted to turn into a laboratory that can perform all analyzes and I can say that we are currently the most competent laboratory in Turkey on mechanical analysis of medical devices."

Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş stated that more than 60 percent of the mechanical analysis of medical devices can be done at international standards at HÜBTÜAM, and while he performed 1,800 analyzes in 2016, this number reached 7,300 in 2019.

Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş said, "If we hadn't done this, some of them would go to Europe and carry out their tests."

Deputy Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Meşe: “I was very excited. This excitement of yours is also very important.

Deputy Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Emine Alp Meşe stated that the studies carried out in the academic field will contribute greatly to the achievement of the goal of indigenization and nationalization in the recent period.

Drawing attention to the difficulties faced by companies that have to have conformity tests done in reaching competent laboratories, Prof. Dr. ALP Meşe said, “They have to pay a lot of money for the laboratories to have the analysis done and even if they agree to pay, they are waiting in line. That's why I thank you very much. IM so excited. This excitement of yours is also very important. We should not lose the excitement ”he said.
