In Dhiban District, the Prime Minister visited the Al-Arid Health Centre, where he directed maintenance work on certain facilities and called for an assessment of the medical and administrative staff to address "actual needs."
The Prime Minister, accompanied by the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply, toured the Al-Safi Garment Factory in Malih District, which offers over 600 job opportunities for women in the region.
He reaffirmed the government's commitment to supporting the factory's expansion efforts to create more job opportunities for local women and youth.
During his visit to the Community Development Centre in the Jabal Bani Hamida area of Dhiban District, the Prime Minister directed a study on establishing a cooperative association for the more than 300 beneficiaries of the centre's training programmes.
