Dr. Al-Hassan Al-Tahir, Deputy Governor of Al-Hudaydah, announced the allocation of a plot of land within the Medical City to establish a specialized center for the care of patients with thalassemia and sickle cell anemia in the governorate.
During his speech at the first annual celebration of sickle cell anemia in the governorate, Dr. Al-Tahir emphasized that the consolidation and coordination of efforts reduce the risks associated with these chronic diseases.
