Dr Yousef Al Maslamani, Medical Director of Hamad General Hospital, is also reminding patients who have appointments at HMC clinics during Ramadan about the importance of attending their appointed schedule. He urges patients to call Nesma’ak on 16060 to reschedule. He said that missing an appointment with one of the specialists can have a serious impact on the health of patients.
