Excellent service and facility. Prof. Vafi Attala saved my life. I did a surgery there. He is the best. Actually he should be appointed as president of hospital. Much love from Hassan. Also the nurses are top. Sooo clean and helpful. Translator Saleh and Dr Muhammet are also great. I went there twice. I love it. But the payment section is not very professional because they didn't seem welcoming. Other than that, all Lovely 😍🌹
