Dr. Bakhsh said there are 5 health centers inside the Haram, equipped with advanced devices, and supplied with proficient medical and nursing staff, offering their services around the clock.
In the course from 20/11/1432H to 10/12/1432H (18/10/2011 to 6/11/2011), Dr. Bakhsh added, the Haram health centers have already received 3709 cases. He also pointed out that these emergency centers have been set to work considerably early to be fully prepared for handling any imperious cases.
