The long-awaited Comprehensive Centre for the Rehabilitation of People with Disabilities in A’ali is on track to begin phased operations from the first quarter of this year, following extensive maintenance and a complete overhaul of its operational model.
Social Development Minister Osama Al Alawi outlined the steps taken to prepare the sprawling complex for reopening after years of delay.
“The complex will provide an integrated system of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities of all categories,” Mr Al Alawi said. “It is designed to rehabilitate, empower and promote independence, while offering a suitable and inclusive environment that meets the highest standards.”
He revealed the details in response to a parliamentary question from Parliament’s public utilities and environment affairs committee chairman MP Mohammed Hussain Janahi.
The centre, located in A’ali, sits on 29,106 square metres of land with a total built-up area of 18,765 square metres and comprises 10 specialised buildings. It will operate through partnerships with government bodies, non-governmental organisations and the private sector.
