Rise in number of patients at Saqr Hospital during Ramadan
RAS AL KHAIMAH — Saqr Hospital has witnessed a significant increase in the number of injury cases due to road accidents, domestic or kitchen mishaps and, patients suffering from abdominal problems since the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
Dr Yusuf Al Twair, Head of the Emergency Section at Saqr Hospital, said the emergency section has been seeing an increase in the number of patients during Ramadan.
He said most road accidents are caused by speeding motorists especially just before Iftar as people rush home.
Some of the kitchen injuries include cuts, burns that occur due to the careless use of the gas cylinder.
The doctors advised the public to administer first aid to the injured before transferring them to hospitals.
According to Dr Al Twair, 30 per cent of the patients have complained of stomach pains or abdominal complications especially workers who have poor diets and lack of proper eating patterns while breaking their fast and during the Imsak.
“Stomach problems among some patients have been due to eating huge amounts of food, especially carbohydrates and sweets, sometimes without taking enough water during Iftar. This puts a burden on the digestive system which leads to abdominal or stomach problems,” he said. — ismail@khaleejtimes.com
