Patients are the main actors in evaluating and judging the quality, therefore this study is based on a questionnaire completed by 53 patients and visitors between January and February, 2020. The results show that services by the paramedical staff (OPD nurses) have the highest mean value (mean = 4.17) which is closed to the excellent performance of hospital whereas the lowest mean was 3.57 rated for the cleanliness of the hospital, including the reception area, OPD and surrounding area.
