Doha: Ashghal has completed the main works at the Umm Al Seneem Health Center, which accommodates 600 patients a day in 40 medical clinics, according to the Public Works Authority (Ashghal).
This facility occupies 27,600 square meters. It includes several annexe buildings including a Masjid, support services building, guards building, supervisory workers room, MEP maintenance centre, ambulance garage and 297 parking spaces.
