Developments discussed include increased number of physicians in numerous departments including pediatrics and emergency services, upgraded facilities in the physiotherapy departments, increased parking spaces allocated to People of Determination, reduced waiting time for walk-in patients, new outpatient clinics with added specialties, and much more.
