According to Asir Health Affairs, over the past ten months, its hospitals contributed to saving the life of 1,823 patients. The Medical Coordination and Eligibility for Treatment Department, through Medical Referral «Ehalati» Program, has followed up the life-saving cases, with 7,838 emergencies, 3,630 inpatients, in addition to 17,234 cases referred to outpatient clinics. Also, the ambulatory committee examined 2,641 patients, including 1,313 cases referred to the private health sector.
It's worth mentioning that «Ehalati» Program is reckoned one of MOH's e-programs. Advantages of the program include providing medical counseling among physicians in the various medical facilities to study the health condition of the patients without the need to refer them. It also provides all the logistic and coordination-related requirements to refer the patient from one medical facility to another. In addition, Ehalati provides an accurate archiving and statistical system, which contains information of the referred patients through the program to different health facilities across the Kingdom.
