He continued: “The Wasfati project is present in all health centers. Medicines are provided in health centers, and the beneficiary can take treatment from commercial pharmacies, in addition to strengthening the connection between primary health centers and hospitals upon referral.”

A doctor for every family project

He added: “We implemented a doctor for every family project, where we linked those in the project to family doctors, so that every family has its own doctor and nurse, and every person enters the application and communicates with his own doctor, and we activated the chat feature with the doctor and nurse,” pointing out that the work has been completed. On this digital infrastructure, this feature will be fully activated in 2024.
