doha • Patients of chronic ailments requiring prescription drugs from pharmacies of the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) will no longer have to wait in long queues: They can avail of their prescriptions by telephone, under a new service offered by the corporation. Patients who are on long-term medication can contact 4391153 or 4391154 and give their case number to the operator, who will in turn, find the prescription drugs they are on. After three hours, the patient can visit the nearest HMC pharmacy and collect these medicines. The move has been hailed by several Qatari nationals who believe, the step will help reduce queues at HMC pharmacies and offer some comfort to patients.
Emad Al Shamri, a Qatari national, hailed the measure as a pioneering one that would help all those on long treatment.
