He also thanked the Ministry of Municipality and Environment for its constant and continued support of the medical clinic throughout its operations.
During this time, the clinic received a total of 713 patients – both adults and children - which included 451 Qataris and 262 expatriates. Twenty seven patients were transferred to the Emergency Department at Hamad General Hospital by ambulance.
The clinic attended to 573 people suffering from a range of ailments such as fevers, abdominal pain, diarrhea, coughs and colds while an additional 135 people were treated for wounds, burns, colds, stomach problems and asthma. Five accident and bone fracture patients were also treated.
