The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), represented by Sharjah Medical District, has added seven new services to the list of services provided by the primary health care centres
These services include cervical screening, colon cancer screening, Itmenan service, premarital screening, medical examination for residency, pilgrims’ health service and the inauguration of evening dental clinics.
Dr Hussein Abdel Rahman Al-Rand, the undersecretary of the Ministry’s Health Assistant Sector, Health Centres and Clinics, said, “This package of new healthcare services is part of a series of the integrated healthcare provided by MoHAP. Through these services, we aim to reinforce our people’s health and happiness, as part of MoHAP’s concerted efforts to update its medical facilities and to simplify patients and visitors’ access to the primary and specialised medical services.”
Al Rand shed light on MoHAP’s efforts to furnish the medical centres with the latest medical equipment and the competent medical and nursing staff, in addition to applying the international accreditation standards to the operational plans.
“These efforts underline MoHAP’s commitment to providing sophisticated healthcare services based on national performance indicators and standards, towards the implementation of the best practices in accordance with the highest innovative standards,” Al Rand added.
Dr Ameera Al Khaja, primary health care director, Sharjah, commented that MoHAP’s constant support has contributed to launching enormous health services. This comes as part of MoHAP’s directives to make the primary health care centres able to provide qualitative and integrated services with a view to reducing patients’ waiting time and providing comprehensive and regular services for the early detection and treatment of non-communicable diseases (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol) as per the best scientific evidence.
