Al-Jahra Hospital begins providing intravenous antimicrobial therapy to patients via outpatient clinics

The Ministry of Health announced yesterday that Al-Jahra Hospital has begun offering intravenous antibiotic treatment through its outpatient clinics, as part of efforts to develop health services and enhance the quality of care provided to patients.

In a press statement, the Ministry said the service aims to enable patients whose conditions require intravenous antibiotics to complete their treatment in outpatient clinics according to specific medical standards and treatment plans that ensure continuous follow-up, patient safety, and reduce the need for hospitalization whenever their health condition permits.

According to the statement, Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Shamari, Head of the Medical Board at Al-Jahra Hospital, said the program represents a step forward in developing the healthcare delivery model by providing appropriate treatment to patients at the right place and time, optimizing the use of hospital resources, and enhancing the efficiency of health services provided.

Dr. Al-Shamari expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the team members who contributed to the preparation and planning for the launch of the program, as well as to the supporting departments and units, commending their efforts, cooperation, and commitment to ensuring the program’s success and achieving its objectives.
