He mentioned that the hospital's development plan for the coming year includes comprehensive infrastructure development, establishing a cardiac catheterization unit, recruiting rare medical specialties like neurology, neurosurgery, and cardiac surgery, strengthening partnerships with the local community and private sector, and moving towards digital transformation and electronic medical records.
Plans are also in place to utilize the field hospital as a specialized children's hospital, offering inpatient beds, clinics, emergency services, and all necessary child care services.
