Represented by King Khaled Hospital, Hail Health Affairs has started reducing the waiting lists of ophthalmological surgeries. In this regard, waiting lists have been updated and patients' data have been computerized on the hospitals system. As a result, last Friday and Saturday, 40 eye operations were done. In the same vein, ophthalmological operating rooms operate seven days a week, including weekend days for the next three weeks. By the end of the first month of rescheduling, all waiting lists will come to an end.
It is noted that Hail Health Affairs has enhanced the Ophthalmology Department of King Khaled Hospital with consultants,to sustain operations during working days, we all as weekends; thus putting an end to waiting lists in the region.
It is also noteworthy that the MOH has launched a daily specialization-based e-Waiting List for surgical operations on its online portal. The list features the MOH's hospitals, along with surgical specializations and corresponding waiting days respectively. The list also includes five levels of waiting days, from one to 180 days.
By launching this initiative, MOH aims to update all patients and beneficiaries of services provided by its health facilities on the developmental efforts to boost performance levels, and to provide high quality services to satisfy and meet the health needs of citizens.
