On Thursday April 23, 2020 a handover ceremony opened the Assalah Health Centre in the municipality of Derj after the completion of maintenance and renovation works.
This was another NOC sustainable development programme for areas adjacent to its operations. Works on this project started at the end of December 2019.
The first phase of the project included renovation of the entire building, modernisation of the electricity grid, replacement doors and windows, covering walls and floors with medical insulation, new suspended ceilings, new air conditioning and lighting, the installation of a medical gas network and other refurbishments.
The second phase included equipping the women’s examination clinic, maternity delivery rooms, intensive care rooms, the medical analysis laboratory, the new-born room, the hospitalization room, the pharmacy, the reception and an information area.
“We hope this project will contribute to alleviating the suffering of citizens and spare them the trouble of traveling long distances for medical services,” said Mr Mukhtar Abdedayem, head of NOC’s Sustainable Development Department.
