Providing Smart Phones to Patients in need

Helping to provide and distribute smartphones to patients in need so that they can use the government applications “Tawakkalna”, “Tabaud” and “Sehhaty”, as well as the Foundation's own applications.

Target group:

All outpatients who do not own a smartphone and cannot afford to buy one.

Location:

  • King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Riyadh.
  • King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Jeddah.

Financial scope:

SAR 91,100.

Project rationale:

With the health application “Sehhaty” and the government applications “Tawakkalna” and “Tabaud” having become essential — and a condition of entry to all centres, shops, and private and public hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic — the Foundation's social and humanitarian role came into play: making it easier for patients to gain entry and attend their scheduled appointments without delay or disruption to their treatment plan, by providing smart devices to patients in financial need who cannot afford them.

Facts and figures:

  • 116 smartphones were provided.
