A PHCC statement said the patients, both citizens and residents, had been served across 20 operational health centres on the occasion - 5,228 in family medicine clinics and 368 in dental clinics.
The QND is observed annually on December 18, and this year the Amiri Diwan announced December 18 and 19 official holidays. The Urgent Care Units across 12 health centres served 696 patients. The speciality clinics available on the QND holidays included ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, premarital screening, pharmaceutical, radiology, and laboratory services.
A total of 256 virtual consultations were given to patients who accessed the PHCC's Community Call Centre - a service provided for urgent cases through specialised physicians prescribing necessary medications in shortest time possible.
