This allowance is one hundred dinars for the staff in educational functions group, and fifty dinars for employees in the public service group and that is under the Council of Ministers Resolution No. (16) for the year 2013. 23. I n this regard, also, the Ministry of Labour and Social Development launched a quality initiative represented in making a computer system especially for the blind, which is endowed with a speaking program called “vision/Bassar”, thus enabling this category to use computer programs and read Arabic and English web pages in an easy and clear manner. It also helps them to differentiate scanned documents and read e-mails, and take advantage of modern technology, and develop their ability to communicate and improve their integration in public and working life. 24. D  uring the NIHR follow-up on the realities of this category of persons with disabilities or those who suffer from medical conditions placing them in the category of persons with disabilities, the NIHR spotted the opening and operation of a therapeutic medical center for blood and genetic diseases as a prominent leading center in the Arab Gulf region. The center was provided with the highest professional and technical levels, and it included a section for accidents and emergencies and another for functional diagnostics. It also noted through the local newspapers that the Ministry of Health will establish a medical complex in Muharraq Governorate in early 2017, which will include a center for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
