- Study and research cases of patients who suffer from social and psychological problems
- We provide social and psychological support, and this raises the morale of the patient
- Psychological and social counseling for patients suffering from chronic diseases, so that the patient needs continuous health follow-up during his time and presence inside and outside the hospital, and this helps the social worker to form a good relationship with these patients
- Follow-up of sick cases that need special devices, by facilitating the means for insolvent patients to obtain the special devices they need from institutions and charities in the community
We are one of the pillars of health services at the Royal Hospital, as we represent the social window through which the efficiency of care services for patients is raised during their admission in the hospital, and care extends beyond the license, and this enhances the connection between the medical staff with the patient and his family members.
"Your support is our goal"
