Special parking spaces at vital public facilities for patients with chronic or serious health conditions is being proposed by a member of Parliament.
Hanan Fardan said many people struggle daily to reach hospitals or government offices simply because suitable parking is unavailable.
The proposal, which will be debated in Parliament on Tuesday, seeks to reserve clearly marked parking spaces in key locations – such as hospitals, ministries and public service centres – for people suffering from conditions like sickle cell disease, multiple sclerosis, fractures, or temporary mobility issues.
Currently, only holders of official disability cards issued by the Social Development Ministry qualify for special parking permits.
The proposal aims to extend similar consideration to patients whose health challenges do not fall under permanent disability classifications but who nonetheless face significant physical strain.
