A protocol was signed to equip the cardiac care unit in Intrinsic Hospital after its development and preparation to accommodate 17 intensive care beds for heart patients with all attached medical devices at a cost of more than 25 million pounds. The unit will be able to receive and treat approximately 3,000 heart patients annually who are unable to do so.
