Twenty-three Idees enves in one of Slan's suburbs have been converted into the city's newest modern hospital. They are situated in the backyard of a Taolat temple. Its well-attended plants and shrubs give the hospital a lovely garden. And the 30 feet "roof" of those caves give ample protection for its patients and equipment against Japanese bombing.
