King Saud Medical City has activated ‘Wasfaty’ e-service, which aims to facilitate for beneficiaries obtaining medications and medical supplies through accredited community pharmacies.
This service is one of the initiatives aimed at improving the quality of health services. Beneficiaries are guided to the closest pharmacy to get the medications they need free-of-charge and facilitate their re-dispensing and home delivery, in addition to receiving notifications of the prescription status via text message. The service also helps achieve patient safety by avoiding medical errors that result from handwriting, and automatic verification of conflicting medications for beneficiaries.
The service seeks to provide the highest standards and electronic systems to facilitate medication dispensing services to ensure medications are available for patients and improve and develop the guidelines of medications use.
