Thanks a lot Shakstar and everyone else who helped. Just to let everyone know that I got the birth certificate. The rules must have changed because Hammad Hospital management issued me with the birth certificate in English. They also gave me the copy of birth certificate issued by Supreme Council of Health and told me that I can straightaway go to my embassy and apply for passport using the birth certificate authenticated by Supreme Council of Health; the great thing is that both certificates are in English; so all good hopefully.

Thanks so much everyone for their help. Kind Regards
