The centre features 2 sauna rooms which can accommodate between 25 and 30 people, along with a medical laboratory and areas for medical examinations and accommodation for the patients.

The centre provides dioxin detoxification for 3 generations of the victims exposed to the wartime toxic chemical, and those who want to remove toxins and hazardous chemicals from their bodies.

Till date, it has treated over 600 AO victims in order to help release the toxins from their bodies, and restore their health.
