Sakarya University provides access to health care through its on-campus Medico-Social Centre and established referral pathways to specialist providers. Its official Students’ Access to Health-Care Services statement explicitly includes confidential sexual and reproductive health support within routine student provision. It describes clinical counselling, prevention-related information, timely assessment and referral for specialist care when indicated, under confidentiality safeguards. This institutional arrangement forms the basis for student access to sexual and reproductive health care. University statement
The Medico-Social Centre provides students with polyclinic and preventive health services, psychological counselling and guidance, and connections to other healthcare providers. The university’s public service description lists general examinations, laboratory and vaccination-related services and indicates that students can request examination without a prior appointment. For needs requiring specialist assessment, the university’s published health-access pathway describes referral to the training and research hospital. The centre is therefore a practical entry point for students seeking advice and appropriate onward care, including sensitive health concerns. Official Medico-Social service description
In the 2025–2026 academic curriculum, specialised learning opportunities provide structured information on sexual health, reproductive rights, contraception and family planning. Documented course examples include:

· Reproductive Health and Family Planning (SHE 310): reproductive health and rights, contraception, family-planning counselling and reproductive health issues across life stages. Course entry
· Reproductive Health (EBE 226): reproductive health services, rights, determinants of reproductive health and approaches to health challenges. Course entry
· Family Planning Counselling (HMS 548): counselling methods, infection prevention, contraception and delivery of family-planning information. Course entry
On 21 October 2025, the Sakarya Provincial Directorate of Family and Social Services provided information directly to students during Sakarya University’s student-society introduction week. Its on-campus stands covered family education, family counselling, individual counselling and related support services. This activity complements the university’s clinical and curricular provision by making family-related support information accessible to students; it is not presented here as a specialist sexual-health clinic. Official provincial announcement
Together, the documented institutional healthcare pathway and student education resources show that Sakarya University provides routes to confidential sexual and reproductive health advice, first-line health assessment and referral, alongside subject-specific learning on sexual health and family planning. For the 2025 evidence year, the university’s established clinical access framework is documented alongside the 2025–2026 curriculum and the dated student-facing information activity delivered on campus in October 2025.
