I visited the Rima Khedouri Eye Hospital and found a room that was previously
an analysis laboratory, and it contains a microscope, a centrifuge machine,
some bottles, dyes, shelves, and a cabinet, and it is suitable to be
a laboratory at the present time, provided that its equipment and furnishing are completed.
Therefore, to avoid the expenses of furnishing a special room for the laboratory in the dispensary, I suggest
that the place of work for Dr. Yusuf Qattan be in the Rima
Khedouri Hospital under the management of the Dar Al-Shifa Dispensary, and he shall perform the analyses
for both the dispensary and the Rima Khedouri Hospital together.
Decided to approve in principle
