Amid the ongoing employee salary crisis in the region, where government employees have not received their pay for three months, the Mar Narsai Health Centre in Dohuk is taking a compassionate step. They are offering discounted pathological tests every Saturday and Monday, easing the burden on citizens with limited incomes. We spoke to Atra Barkho, the centre's director, to understand more about this initiative.
