New Outpatient Clinic

In January 2011 a new Outpatient Clinic Building was opened. After the 7:30 am prayer time, all the hospital personnel walked over to the new building to have a “Prayer of Dedication” for the building, those who would work there and those patients who would be consulted there. After the prayer, the building opened for service!
