It was clean enough, better equipped, nice looking than many european clinics. It was very clean but if you need more they would provide. It was an operation and it was almost perfect. Only problem is to get the facture. It takes at least a week. The doctor was very comforting and gentile and look very experienced. The operation was epidural anesthezi. No worries to have a baby there and the clinic by the way called clinic Sehrazad. I can give more detail if requested.
