WAM Abu Dhabi, June 25th, 2012 (WAM) -- Abu Dhabi Police GHQ, represented by Outer Areas Police Department, has opened a criminal investigation office at Mafraq Hospital.

For his part, Khalifa Al Kaeli, Director of Patients Affairs at Mafraq Hospital, praised the cooperation project between Mafraq Hospital and Abu Dhabi Police, confirming that it is not the first cooperation, "Both, Abu Dhabi Police and Mafraq Hospital share a common goal to offer high quality services for the same community. Hence, such a goal requires joint efforts to offer the best services for the community," he said.

"Mafraq Hospital receives the injured to treat," added Al Khaeli, "Then the Investigation Office at the Hospital will finalize the legal procedures, without the need to go to the investigation offices at the police stations," he clarified.

Adel Al Khodor Al Braiki, Director of Cases Deposition and Investigation Section at the Investigation Affairs Division at the Outer Areas Police Department and the Supervisor of the Investigation Office at Mafraq Hospital, said: "The moment the declared injured patient finalizes the health treatments, he will submit to the Investigation Office at the Hospital to finalize his legal procedures.
