Activating endoscopes at Oyoun Al-Jawa Hospital to serve northern Al-Qassim
In a strategic move reflecting the healthcare sector's commitment to developing the Kingdom's medical care system, the Qassim Health Cluster the activation of diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy services at Oyoun Al-Jawa General Hospital . This significant step aims to serve patients in the northern governorates of the Qassim region, providing specialized and precise care and reducing waiting lists, thus ending the hardship of patients having to travel long distances to central referral hospitals to access these services.
Strengthening the health infrastructure in line with Vision 2030
This launch aligns with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program , a pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to facilitate access to and improve the quality of healthcare services. The "localization of specialized services" strategy in peripheral and general hospitals is a cornerstone of the health clusters' operations. This involves transferring expertise and technologies from major centers to the governorates, ensuring that citizens and residents receive comprehensive healthcare near their homes. This alleviates operational pressure on central hospitals in Buraidah, allowing them to focus on more complex cases.
Advanced technologies for detection and treatment
The new service at Oyoun Al-Jawa Hospital allows for upper and lower endoscopy , representing a significant leap forward in the services provided. This unit not only diagnoses but also offers immediate treatment solutions for complex medical conditions. This technology enables the treatment of many cases locally within the hospital, eliminating the need for traditional open surgery. This significantly reduces the patient's hospital stay, minimizes surgical risks, and accelerates recovery and return to normal life.
The importance of early detection of tumors
From a medical standpoint, the new unit enables medical teams to detect gastrointestinal diseases and potential tumors at an early stage, a crucial factor in the success of treatment plans. Accurate and rapid diagnosis enhances the chances of recovery, increases survival rates, and accelerates the pace of sound medical decision-making in accordance with internationally approved protocols. The complex has equipped the unit with the latest advanced medical equipment and technologies in the field of endoscopy to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Medical expertise and global quality standards
The unit is staffed by a highly qualified medical and technical team, working according to strict procedures to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. The activation of this unit will serve a large segment of the population in the Al-Uyun Al-Jawa governorate and its affiliated centers, enhancing health security in the region and improving spending efficiency by reducing the costs of medical referrals and ambulance transport. This underscores the Qassim Health Cluster's ongoing commitment to achieving comprehensive and sustainable healthcare.
