“Health”: Transferring emergency catheterization patients during the evening period to operating rooms in hospitals that perform them at any time

Al-Taj News – Ministry of Health spokesperson Saad Al-Amour said on Friday that the approved protocol for treating acute heart attacks, which began last February, linked all Ministry of Health hospitals within a daily and monthly distributed and known program of on-call doctors who perform catheterization procedures, so that they are transferred to them directly.

Al-Amour added that any patient who needs an acute cardiac catheterization procedure is directly admitted to the catheterization operating rooms in the hospitals that perform them at any time, noting that there are 7 main hospitals that perform cardiac catheterization, where the patient is sent to the concerned hospital through medical staff, or if it is among the hospitals that perform this procedure directly.
