The Ministry worked with different entities on several initiatives to reduce patients’ visits to hospitals and health centres as much as possible in order to comply with the measures of social distancing and reduce the spread of COVID-19. It provides telephone/video medical consultations and virtual appointments with doctors where patients enter virtual consultation rooms.
