    So, does that make it primarily useful for if the hospital is looking to do surgery?

    IIRC al-Shifa was still doing complicated surgeries really late into the conflict.

      Not necessarily, an MRI is great to have but not necessary to carry out surgery, while something like ventilation absolutely is.

      Power usage of an MRI machine is pretty mega, it’d be hugely wasteful to prioritise running it vs even just keeping fuel in reserve.
