ABU DHABI - The National Centre for Tumors in Yemen will benefit from the Dh19.5 million grant given to it by the Abu Dhabi Government for the purchase of state-of-the-art X-ray units, diagnostic apparatus and laboratory facilities, construction of in-patient facilities, waiting rooms and transportation amenities.
“The National Centre for Tumors project is one of the leading medical initiatives aimed at enhancing the level of medical services offered for people in Yemen. It puts in place sophisticated equipment that allows practitioners with highly accurate treatment procedures and more precise results,” said Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, acting general manager of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD).
