The visit aimed to check out the health services offered by the center and likewise identify the medical services provided to patients with cardiac disease especially the in-patient children. They also brought gifts for the children.

The center tour started off at the clinics department. The students met Dr. Kholoud Al-Qarazi gave the visitors an orientation and knowledge on the procedures being performed inside Cath Laboratory. Furthermore, she explains the essential inklings and facts on what a cardiologist does to children born with heart diseases. Dr. Al-Qarazi also substantially answered the student’s questions in order to satisfy their quest for vivid detail information about heart disease.

The students proceeded to pediatric ICU where they were given a brief overview of how the surgeons perform their tasks. The knowledge they have learned about surgery was fully comprehensible as the students were able to witness the patients who have undergone surgery.

The students got the chance to personally met Dr. Ali Al-Akhfash, a Pediatric Cardiac Consultant. He explained the services provided by their department in the treatment of patients who mostly need them.

All along the tour, the visitors were joined and assisted by the Director of Communication, Relations and Awareness,  Ms. Mariam Ghaleb Al-Harbi.

The visit left an overwhelming joy and happiness for the students because the experience of visiting medical institutions such as PSCCQ can rarely happen. On the other hand, the PSCCQ administration and staff were also content in assisting and helping the students during the visit. The student's visit was sensibly spent by boosting the patient's morale through gift giving and sending wishes for their speedy recovery.
