The clinic, located at the Nad Al Hamar Primary Healthcare Centre, currently aims to cover 1,467 employees, and will provide cover to 11,215 DHA employees in its second phase.
The clinic includes occupational health physicians and nurses, and includes a hygiene lab with an occupational hygienist and health officer.
