National Medical Emergency Public Awareness Campaign
N.M.E.P.A.C / 2007 – 2008
|
|
Introduction :
Hamad Medical Corporation provides comprehensive and continuous medical emergency services on highest international standards; these services are delivered through a network of hospitals, medical centers and departments.
A drastic increase in the census of patients making use of these services has raised an obvious need for increasing the public awareness and maximizing the utilization of these services. Improving the public understanding of the role of the medical emergency facilities will lead to more efficient use of the concerned facilities, which will result in provision of higher quality care and higher satisfaction of both the community and healthcare providers.
