Minister of Social Affairs: Comfort and care for people with disabilities is a 'priority that tolerates no negligence'

Dr. Amthal Al-Hawila, Minister of Social Affairs, Family, and Childhood Affairs, confirmed that surprise field visits would continue to be conducted frequently, including on holidays and official public holidays, to ensure the continuity of service quality, monitor the performance of officials, and address any observations promptly, with the comfort and care of persons with disabilities remaining a priority that brooks no negligence.

This statement came during a press interview with Al-Hawila on Thursday, following a field visit to the South Al-Sabah Center, affiliated with the Public Authority for Persons with Disabilities, to review operations, assess the level of services provided to residents, and closely monitor their needs.

She emphasized the necessity for officials and leaders to be continuously present in the field to engage in direct communication with persons with disabilities, understand their needs, and evaluate the extent to which their requirements are being met, moving beyond reliance on office-based reports.

During the visit, she observed several activities and events organized by staff for the residents, commending the efforts made to provide a suitable environment that contributes to enhancing their quality of life.
