The drive is being conducted with the sponsorship of Sheikh Eid Charitable Society (SECS), which has contributed QR72,000 to support the initiative.Speaking at the project launch meeting, HMC’s corporate communications department executive director Ali Abdullah al-Khater stated: “The drive has already commenced in HMC hospitals - Hamad General Hospital, Al Khor Hospital, Wakra Hospital, Heart Hospital, Rumailah Hospital, Women’s Hospital, and the National Centre for Cancer Care and Research - where meals are distributed to physicians, nurses, and visitors who are in the hospitals at the Ramadan breakfast time.”During the meeting held with the representatives of SECS, comprising the centre’s acting head Yousef Jassim, internal marketing officer Haytham Misned and external marketing officer Majed Yousef, al-Khater praised the ongoing co-operation and partnership between HMC and SECS. Jassim spoke on the priority given to healthcare services rendered to disadvantaged residents which are provided through HMC facilities. Millions of patients have been cared for last year through the HMC–SECS partnership. Amongst all domestic and foreign healthcare points that SECS deals with, HMC has always been the best in fast-tracking patients referred by SECS.Jassim also expressed SECS’s wish to organise educational and recreational activities for patients at HMC hospitals. He emphasised his willingness to provide HMC with medical equipment or other forms of support needed to serve the patients.
