According to National Iraqi News Agency, al-Sudani made this announcement during a signing ceremony for the construction of a medical city in Dhi Qar Governorate. The project will be executed in collaboration with the Chinese State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC). The Prime Minister praised the efforts of the Dhi Qar Reconstruction Fund, the Ministry of Health, and other supporting agencies, which facilitated the signing of the contract valued at 490 billion dinars. The implementation of this significant project is set to begin soon.
