Interacting with the needs of persons with disabilities, PMBAH’s staff raced to participate in the program "Try the chair" which was adopted by The Disabled Children's Association among their awareness programs, which aims to mobilize the community support for the rights of the disabled.
Officials at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Center for the care of children with disabilities in AlMadinah created tracks in the corridors of PMBAH hospital representing some of the difficulties faced by the people with disabilities in their daily lives. Dr. Mansour Al Othman, Executive Director, Operations, PMBAH was at the forefront of the participants at this event, which attracted a number of officials from the hospital administrators, doctors and nurses.
Dr. Al Othman expressed his appreciation for the outstanding awareness role played by The Disabled Children's Association in defining the disability issues and the ways to deal with it, noting that being in their shoes a few minutes is enough for hundreds of pages and words and invite us all to understand the circumstances of this category and taking their needs into account in all utilities and facilities.
On the other hand, Mr. Haitham Othman, Director of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Center for the care of children with disabilities in AlMadinah thanked the officials in PMBAH for interacting with the program, noting that it was agreed upon between the hospital and Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Center to activate joint social programs.
