Dr. Marwan Al Mulla, CEO of the Health Regulation Sector at DHA, highlighted the global challenges faced by health authorities in the realm of oncology services. To address these challenges, the DHA has proactively developed these new standards to establish an effective system that delivers advanced oncology services.
