Clinical Activities
Most patients come by themselves to the Salam Centre, without been referred by physicians or medical facilities. After an initial triage, patients with known or potential cardiac problems receive further cardiac investigations.
From April 2007 to October 2011:
| Patients triaged | 35,211 |
| Cardiological examinations | 26,852 |
| Number of hospital admissions * | 5,902 |
| Number of patients admitted | 4,759 |
| Number of surgical operations ** | 4,060 |
| Number of patients operated | 3,865 |
| Cath Lab procedures | 992 |
* The difference between the number of admissions and the number of patients admitted is due to repeated admissions for diagnostic investigations or medical treatment.
** The difference between the number of surgeries and the number of patients operated is due to re-operations and staged procedures.
