The Ministry Of Health Plans To Reduce Waiting Periods And Increase Specialized Clinics

As part of its steps to improve health care and services, the Ministry of Health is expanding the number of specialized clinics in care centers across the country, reducing the waiting period for appointments, reducing overcrowding, diversifying and improving services, after catching its breath after the end of the battle with Corona.

As part of its efforts to improve healthcare and services, the Ministry of Health has announced plans to open and launch more specialized clinics in primary health care centers across a number of regions, according to an Arabic daily local to the region.

According to informed health sources, the Abdul Rahman Al-Zaid Health Center in Mubarak Al-Abdullah opened an ophthalmology clinic a few days after the opening of the Department of Ophthalmology at the new Jahra Hospital.

In addition, sources noted that the opening of specialized clinics in all health centers will significantly relieve pressure on public hospitals and specialized centers for certain diseases, adding that such clinics are needed to keep pace with the recent increase in the country's population.

According to the sources, the launch of specialized clinics in primary care centers will result in fewer appointments being granted to visitors in certain specialties, indicating that general medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, dentistry, mental health, and nose and ear clinics are among the specialized clinics available at the Abdul Rahman Al-Zaid Center.

The ministry drew attention to the Ministry of Health’s keenness on the equal distribution of medical and nursing staff in primary care centers in the various health regions, in addition to providing modern technologies for diagnosis and treatment and making them available on a wider level in the centers, as well as paying attention to the axis of health surveys, studies and research, enhancing the capabilities of workers, and enhancing trust between the health center and society through awareness programs organized by the centers from time to time.
