A delegation from Ministry of Interior’s Civil Defence Department recently visited and gave gifts to patients at Al Wakra Hospital (AWH)’s Burns Section and the Intensive Care Unit.
The delegation included Brigadier Aman al-Sulaiti, assistant director-general of Civil Defence; Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Ibrahim al-Asmakh, director of the support section; Captain Jaber Mohamed al-Marri, head of the education section; and Captain Jaber Hamad al-Marri, Civil Defence officer in Al Wakrah.
The visiting delegation was welcomed to the hospital by Wilson Ross, AWH’s chief executive officer; and Dr Mahmoud al-Heidous, AWH’s medical director.
Dr al-Heidous thanked the guests, commenting that such visits not only played a crucial role in patients’ psychological recovery but also reflected how the community cared for patients.
He said since its transfer to AWH, its Burns Section has become the main burns centre in Qatar.
Brig al-Sulaiti said, “This visit is aimed at promoting and consolidating the mutual relationship between our department and Hamad Medical Corporation, and AWH in particular. It also offers us the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with all the issues related to the safety and security of patients, and enables us to establish any solutions that may be required to any problems that might occur in the case of disasters such as a fire.”
