“We tell our patients the right thing, what we can do and what we cannot do and if the sickness is treatable or not treatable. If we are able to treat the sickness here, we go ahead, if not, we recommend that you travel abroad, with that, they can make their decision,” she said.

“We also want to have our own ambulance for emergency and also to have inpatient and not outgoing patients. We promised to serve our patients like before from our hearts and try our best to offer more services to all of our customers,” she said.
