The newspaper reported that the Parliamentary Health and Population Committee released a report, of which a copy was obtained by Al-Wahdah weekly, stressing the necessity of inquiring about the fate of the money allocated for the Drug Fund in Al-Jawf governorate.

The report revealed that financial and administrative corruption in the fund is responsible for the poor healthcare in the governorate. It added that the fund officials wasted a sum of 1.2 million Euros, which the German Government donated to the Drug Fund via GTZ for restoring Al-Hazm General Hospital.
