President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu today inspected the ‘Orange Hiyaa’ building currently being prepared to relocate the National Thalassemia Center. During his visit to the building, the President examined the progress of the work and gathered information about the remaining tasks. In this visit, the President instructed that when relocating the thalassemia services to the new building, the work should be done in a way that ensures services can be provided without any difficulties for those seeking care.
Additionally, the President instructed to proceed with matters in close consultation with patients and service users to make things convenient for them.
