I invite everyone to contribute to treating patients in the hospital
Ammar called on all those who are able to contribute to the treatment of patients, commenting: I single out charitable men who are able to contribute to wiping the tears of patients and their families, and what we see inside the hospital indicates that everyone is one family, and everyone is doing their best to alleviate pain and contribute to recovery.
