The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has concluded another successful participation in GITEX Technology Week 2020, where it showcased the latest services and smart initiatives launched as part of its plans to make the most of the latest advanced technologies, improve the health of society and ensure the happiness of patients.

The ministry’s pavilion, which witnessed an impressive turnout of VIPs, senior officials and those interested, introduced the visitors to the latest initiatives and smart health programs developed to effectively meet the needs of patients and customers according to a forward-looking vision for the future of health services.

Innovative Health Projects

Visitors were also introduced to the latest developments in innovative healthcare solutions in addition to a number of projects showcased by some government departments and global technology companies.

Linking the National Ambulance with the emergency department in the ministry’s hospitals is one of the projects the ministry highlighted at GITEX. It aims to automate patient data during the transfer process to activate the electronic early warning system.

Another project is “Reaya App”, which is intended to provide the necessary follow-up for COVID-19 confirmed and suspected cases through the communication between the physician and patient during isolation periods.

For the constant follow up of the patient’s status, MoHAP has developed the “Telemedicine Project” to ensure the safety of community members, limit health hazards, and save the effort of commuting between hospitals and outpatient clinics.

The fourth project was an e-system for filing medical and administrative complaints against private health facilities so that the customer can follow up throughout the complaint process.

Also, the Ministry of Health showcased the new updated version of the smart patient portal dubbed “SHEFAA” to serve the largest segment of patients of all age groups by showcasing treatment services provided by the ministry and other patient-centric services.

This is supported by the user-centric information, through the direct connectivity with the “Wareed” system that covers all MoHAP’s centers and hospitals within a single network.
