GIM Mayor Nabel Al-Kofhi said on Monday that the council, in a session last Wednesday, took the decision to allocate 10 dunums of the municipal land in Al-Sareeh area, on the road between the vehicles licensing department and the Martyr Azmi Al-Mufti camp.

The municipality stipulates that the project of building the center has to be completed within three years, otherwise the ownership of the land will be returned to the municipality, Kofahi pointed out.

Kofhi stressed that the allocation of this plot of land came after studying the most appropriate sites that can serve all the people of the northern governorates and can be easily accessed.

He said that, according to that the statistics of the National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics (NCDEG), more than 60 percent of its patients are from the northern governorates, which calls for the establishment of a center in the region that serves citizens and relieves pressure on the main center in Amman.
