A parcel, with a total area of 378.000 m2 within the building range, was chosen for the project, and coordination is underway with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs for allocating this parcel to the Ministry of Health.
This statement was delivered by the Director General of Riyadh Health Affairs Directorate, Dr. Adnan Abdul Kareem, pointing out that the Vice Minister of Health for Planning and Development has approved to put forward the cooling coils units in the hospital to tenders, as well as allocating the necessary funds; so as to address the problem of air conditioning in the hospital.
