Residents expressed their happiness to receive services from Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, which due to the war, has not been providing medical services for a long period of time.

According to Mrs. Meremo Muhe and Mr. Abebe Abraham, whom we met getting service at the hospital, they were pleased to see the hospital doors open and the white gown wearing staffs caring for patients with smiles.
