This is a level five hospital which is well equipped and it provides advanced and adequate services to its patients. The wards of this hospital have a capacity of over two hundred beds and therefore it can adequately accommodate over two hundred patients and adequately cater for them. This hospital was established ten years ago and according to its history as obtained in its records, this hospital has highly helped in improving the health care of the people living in this society, (Carnevale, Smith & Strohl, 2010).
