the patients with high qualified care and dignity. We take decisions about the care of the
patients by consulting with them. The emergency department of our hospital is seeing above
80,000 patients. We provide our services for 24 hours in all the 7 days of the week. Our
hospital is in the elemental setting category in which we consider the health was perceived as
