The management of the Hakim Ben Badis University Hospital in Constantine has stated that the current renovation work in the neurosurgery and spinal cord department is affecting the scheduling of appointments.

The hospital's management issued a statement in response to concerns expressed on social media about the scheduling of appointments at the neurosurgery department.
