How many chiral centers are in the drug hydroxychloroquine. I found only one, (CH) (2 rights from the NH), but are there any more?

Everyone, even a beginner chemist should notice this knowing the structural formula of the compound. There are no more chiral centers for hydroxychloroquine. I will add that racemate is used as a medicine.
