The head of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Security Forces Hospital increased In Riyadh: “We are currently striving in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital to hold a seminar and training workshop periodically twice a year to train the medical team on this issue. cases.
