Although it’s a health need, I wouldn’t have accepted it if it was coming from any other person apart from Dr. Anyars. This is because, for Dr Anyars whether the world is sick or not, he is paying attention to our health needs. The regular checkup he organizes has helped me and my household to be health-conscious. May Allah guide him.” She stated with joy.
