Covering an area of 1,769 square meters, the centre is outfitted with state-of-the-art medical equipment and devices to provide primary and comprehensive healthcare services.
It includes emergency and ambulance departments, a radiology unit, a pharmacy, a dental laboratory, clinics specialising in chronic diseases, maternal and child health, and dentistry, as well as administrative facilities.
Al-Bdour said the centre represents a significant addition to the healthcare system in Mafraq Governorate, helping improve the quality of medical services and expand access to comprehensive healthcare. He praised QC’s efforts and support in completing the project.
