The Health Professions Awareness and Volunteering Programme at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has conducted Arabic language training courses for its non-Arabic speaking staff.
Balqees al-Khazraji, director of the programme, said such courses were organised annually to help HMC’s non-Arab employees communicate better with patients and their families.
A total of 81 staff, comprising physicians and nurses, took part in three different courses held each week during the programme.
The first course titled “The Enhancement of Dialogue in Arabic Language” was presented by Al Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre. The second course, “Let’s Speak Arabic”, was presented by Tamouh Ambition Voluntary Centre. The last lecture was presented by Qatar Guests Centre, an affiliate of Sheikh Eid Charitable Association, under the title: “Learn Conversation and Dialogue”.
