Safder bhai was given a detailed tour of the Amir ul Mu’minin (a) Hospital led by Shaykh Ihsan Jawaheri – the CEO of Ahlulbayt Foundation in Najaf, which is under Sayyid Jawad Sehrestani. He was also accompanied by Mr Sadiq Alzaki, the manager of the hospital. In just over an hour, he was very impressed with the facilities, and noted that the equipment in use is state-of-the art, and remains unavailable in the rest of Iraq.
They visited the Departments of Nuclear Radiation and Thyroid Cancer, as well as the development of the new Recruitment Center (under construction), knowing that these two departments are unrivalled in Iraq. They also went to the Department of Eye Treatment and Operations as part of the tour and learned about the hospital’s advanced technology for serving patients. Depending on their financial situation, the payment scheme is tailored accordingly – some patients get a free review, others get a discount, and the rest have to pay the full price because they can afford to do so. The President wishes them every success as they expand and complete their renovation works.
