Over the past period, the country’s only neurosurgical hospital has been remodeled and equipped with modern medical facilities. As a result, everything has been done for the provision of qualified treatment, the activity of 430 doctors and paramedics.
The President was informed that the hospital for 125 patients has one operating unit and four surgeries fitted with all the necessary equipment for microscopic surgery. The intensive care unit is also equipped with the latest facilities. All requirements have been taken into consideration to ensure that patients are continuously monitored.
