Accordingly, in its early years of operation, the hospital had only about 60 staff members and the capacity to serve 60 inpatient beds. Overcoming many difficulties common to the country and the city in terms of economics, development policies, and investment in the healthcare sector, Hospital 1A has always remained a unified and cohesive unit, and together they have overcome ups and downs to become a Grade II hospital with more than 280 staff members, serving over 400 inpatient beds.
Of these, 84% are officials and employees working in specialized fields, directly serving patients. Of the 235 professional staff, over 80% hold professional certificates: including 2 PhDs, 8 Specialists Level II, 15 Masters, 16 Specialists Level I, 24 Doctors, 11 Pharmacists, and 68 Bachelors in other specialties.
