Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) today, August 21, announced the closure of WD Al Huseen Restaurant and WD Al Huseen Bakery in the Muaither area for a period of seven days, due to violations of Law No (8) of 1990 concerning the regulation of the control of human food, and its amendments.
