On the other hand, knowledgeable sources have affirmed that 12 primary health care centers will be established in the first quarter of 2018; explaining these centers will be distributed to the governorates based on the number of expatriates residing in each governorate.

Sources added the hospitals project will begin in the first quarter of 2020, during which two hospitals will be built in Ahmadi and Jahra governorates.
