Doha: The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has announced that, with effect from April 4, 2021, all non-essential services will only be conducted through virtual consultations using both telephone and video.
“Given the current rise in COVID-19 cases, the changes have been put into effect as a precautionary measure to keep the community safe, by minimizing exposure for both patients and healthcare workers as we have a high volume of vaccination groups visiting the health centers. To limit the number of patients visiting health centers, PHCC teams will call patients to reschedule any existing appointments non-essential services by converting them to virtual consultations,” said Dr Samya Ahmad Al Abdulla, Executive Director of Operations, of PHCC.
