In order to restore the sewerage system of the hospital, several sewerage
holes of sambo type have been dug in the territory and built from the inside
with pipes.

electric heaters for many years, which sometimes resulted in undesirable
situations and caused power consumption in large quantities. Two boiling
houses were built in the hospital within last two years and presently all
buildings are heated by them.
A lot of work has been done to improve the practice of providing patients
with medicines and food, positive changes have been observed both in the
provision of medicines and increase of their variety and presently there is no
problem in this sphere.
The problems that existed for many years in the sphere of provision of
food to patients have been eliminated and patients are provided with quality
food. Patients are also provided with hospital clothes and personal hygiene
items. That certain boxes have been hung in each unit of the hospital for
proposals and complaints and radio and TV sets have been installed in most
units may be appreciated as a positive step toward the solution of living
problems of patients.
A consent form with treatment information for patients entering the

standards and at present are successfully applied in the hospital.

units during the visit was a result of the suspension of the operation of four
units (No.9, 10, 11 and 12) with 80 beds each in connection with capital
repairs to be performed there. At present the renovation works have been
