“The hospital has facilities for isolation, quarantine, laboratory, emergency, operation theater, and also pharmacy to handle patients who need fast, easy, and affordable health services,” he said.

The President added that in the current pandemic, health facilities are highly needed, especially by people in remote areas.

Therefore, the people can get hospital services whenever they have health problems.
