Algiers: A new digital platform designed to optimize patient transfer operations between healthcare facilities will soon be launched, according to an announcement made by the Minister of Health, Mohamed Seddik Ait Messoudane, in Algiers on Thursday.
The initiative aims to streamline the often complex process of transferring patients requiring specialized care from one hospital to another. The platform promises to enhance efficiency, reduce delays, and improve overall coordination within the healthcare system.
