'I listen to people's problems and guide bodies to solve them,' says Sheikh Sultan
Sheikh Sultan made the statement on Direct Line.
Recently, Sheikh Sultan directed the Sharjah Health Authority to continue the treatment of the father of 'Umm Mohammed,' a follower of the 'Direct Line' programme broadcast by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, at Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi, with Sheikh Sultan's office covering the treatment costs, regardless of insurance coverage.
Dr Abdul Aziz Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Sharjah Health Authority, stated during the programme hosted by Mohammed Al Raeesi that Sheikh Sultan listened to the message sent by 'Umm Mohammed,' in which she appealed for her father's continued treatment at the hospital, where he has been for a year and five months.
She noted that the insurance company had stopped covering the treatment expenses.
D. Al Muhairi added Sheikh Sultan directed the authority to take the necessary steps to ensure the father's continued treatment at Burjeel Hospital or transfer him to the University Hospital in Sharjah if the family prefers. Accordingly, Burjeel Hospital was notified that the office of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah will cover the treatment costs for the case.
Sheikh Sultan has approved the allocation of plots of land to citizens in the Al Haray area of Khorfakkan.
This includes 180 residential plots, 450 industrial plots and 60 commercial plots. Work is underway to level the plots so they can be handed over to eligible beneficiaries within two months. A park will also be established in the area.
This was announced by Ayman Rashid Al Naqbi, Director of the Department of Planning and Survey-Khorfakkan Branch, during a conversation with the Direct Line programme.
Last week, Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, announced a miracle road above the peaks of mountains in Khorfakkan.
'We will build a road above the peaks and foothills of mountains, reaching Khorfakkan. The road will be a wonder like no other, and driving on it will be a true pleasure. Surrounded by trees, plants, waterways and beautiful homes, the road will ascend from the Ghazir Tunnel to reach the highest mountain peak in Khorfakkan, at an altitude of 1,100 metres above sea level,' Sheikh Sultan said in exclusive statements to the Direct Line programme.
The Ruler of Sharjah also approved a new batch of housing support beneficiaries in the emirate of Sharjah, allocated for urgent cases, with a budget of Dhs335 million.
A total of 431 families will benefit, including 133 families currently living in rented accommodation, 201 families residing in overcrowded homes with relatives, 61 families living in inherited houses, and 36 families in old and structurally unfit homes.
All these applications fall under the grant category, and beneficiaries will receive ready-built government housing.
The approval was announced by Khalid bin Butti Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Sharjah Department of Housing, during a phone-in segment on the 'Direct Line' programme, broadcast on Sharjah Broadcasting Authority.
