The director of the New Scan Medical Center also confirmed that the Coalition’s raids led to the disruption of the center’s diagnostic services, and thousands of patients from the capital and governorates will be affected as a result.

The source added that severe damage led the hospital to be out of service as a result of the raids of the Coalition.
