Doha: The Trauma Center at Hamad Medical Corporation ( HMC ) is conducting a specially designed Outreach Educational Program for non-trauma practitioners on the care of patients with trauma injuries. The program aims to improve the capacity of general hospitals in outlying areas of the country to manage trauma patients with less severe injuries.
"The idea is that the hospitals that serve the outlying areas of the country will be able to manage a number of trauma patients that do not need to come to Hamad General Hospital (HGH) - where the Trauma Center is based - because they have small injuries," said Dr. Rifat Latifi, Professor of Surgery and Director of Trauma Services at HMC . |
