AL AHLI Hospital managing director Abdulwahed al-Mawlawi yesterday described the recent ‘Experience Love, Experience Al Ahli’ slogan adopted by the hospital as a “beacon to make healthcare services more personal”.
‘What we are trying to do is to ‘love’ an integral part of all our operations in order to ensure that our guests get well fast … what I have discovered is that if sick people are treated with absolute love and care, they tend to get well sooner,” he said.
