In early Spring, the Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Akka, Nazareth, and Galilee, Archbishop Sayedna Yousef Matta, visited the Hospital’s COVID ward.

The Archbishop spent six weeks as a patient in the COVID ward. After recovering well from the virus, he asked to come back and express his sincere thanks and appreciation to the medical staff who cared for him during his time on the ward.

During his speech to the team, he said, ‘I come to give thanks to this wonderful medical institution and to thank the dedicated staff who provided me with the best care and treatment which enabled me to recover from this terrible virus.’
