According to Jazan Health Affairs, over the past year (2019), its hospitals contributed to saving the life of 2,420 patients. The Medical Coordination and Eligibility for Treatment Department, through Medical Referral «Ehalati» Program, has followed up referring the life-saving cases. Also, the program has handled 40,867 cases, with 2,420 life-saving cases, 2,977 emergencies, 2,572 routine cases, in addition to 6,097 cases referred to outpatient clinics.
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.
