PHCC launches online service to book Covid-19 vaccination appointment on Nar’aakom

.

The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has launched a new service to book COVID-19 vaccination appointments online through its bilingual mobile app, Nar’aakom. PHCC’s Nar’aakom smartphone app provides comprehensive digitized healthcare management on-the-go, from accessing upcoming appointments to applying for a health card online, making it easy to access services at its 27 Health Centers. The new service is available for both citizens and residents of Qatar who are eligible to register for a health card with PHCC can access this service. Eligible patients who do not know their designated Health Center can also submit an online request, the Health Information Management team will assign the nearest Health Center, based on the patient’s residential address. The Health Center staff will then send an SMS, with an appointment reference number to the patient  The new service is not accessible to people holding QIDs with expiry dates beyond the one-year grace period allowed by the Government and hence they will not be able to submit vaccine appointment requests through Nar’aakom.
