The Chief of Staff of the Algerian People’s National Army, General Said Chengriha, inaugurated new healthcare facilities in the First Military Region on Saturday. The inauguration underscores the ongoing efforts to modernize and enhance medical services within the Algerian military.
At the Central Army Hospital in Ain Naadja, General Chengriha received a detailed presentation from the Central Director of Military Health Services.

These departments have been equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, including a hyperbaric medicine unit offering advanced treatment for high blood pressure using oxygen therapy, and a molecular imaging department featuring a new Positron Emission Tomography (PET) unit. This specialized unit will enable doctors and specialists to accurately diagnose the location and nature of diseases.
These departments, constructed according to international health standards and equipped with cutting-edge technology, are poised to deliver high-quality medical services and improve patient care.
