Complained patients and auditors to the emergency department and accidents in the hospital, Sheikh Khalifa in Ajman, the length of wait before you see a doctor emergency, arguing that the length of the delay in the interview, the doctor will reflect negatively on their health, and made worse, pointing out that resort to the emergency department to be his health is bad, and needs to medical care and treatment at full speed, not even his condition worsen.

And demanded the authorities concerned of the need to work to provide radical solutions to this problem, and enables patients to the emergency department of the speed of access to a doctor, and prevent them from hardship long wait.

As the President of Accident and Emergency department at the hospital, Dr Abdul Karim Helmi, told ?Emirates Today?, that congestion and long waiting who complain about some of it, the cases of non-emergency, or so-called cases cold, which is better that the drop in outpatient clinics that receive patients and Auditors From seven in the morning until ten at night.

He explained that the priority in the emergency department to receive emergency cases actually, not all see the emergency department be an emergency condition, the initial detection of we have is limited by the emergency situation of the cold.

And in detail, said one of Auditors emergency department, hospital, Sheikh Khalifa in Ajman, Mazen Ali, he nearly ‬ 10 days, was suffering severe pain in the head, headache severe unusual and could not afford it, so he headed to the emergency department at the hospital Khalifa, accompanied by one of his friends, and waited for more than an hour in the section which led to an increase in pain, and kept looking for the doctor on duty and said loudly, but no one inappropriately, on his condition continued to suffer severe headaches, until he came role after Ojhdh to the fatigue and pain.

And asked, 'Why all this wait in emergency situations? And why did not observe the hospital critical situations? Is section suffers from a shortage of medical staff, or is it laziness or ignored and neglected by the medical team in the section? ?, Calling for the need to solve the problem of waiting in the department of emergency in order to alleviate patients, and not to increase the suffering of waiting for the role.

Another said, Saeed Salem, said he often review the emergency department, and by repeating his review, either for him or for a loved one or a friend, noticed a lot of pressure on the emergency department, following it appears that the medical staff in the emergency department is not enough , which leads to wait for long periods of time until patients are sick role. He pointed out that there is slower or a slowdown in the delivery of therapeutic services for auditors, demanding stakeholders in the hospital to find real solutions to the problem of the long wait in the emergency, which reflected negatively on the patient's condition.

He was supported Mahmoud Hamed, adding that ?there seems to be a key feature in the emergency department, based on the training of patients to be patient and wait, which leads to increased pain patients and poor condition.

He said ?We feel that there is a delay deliberate in the arrival of a doctor to the situation, we do not wait before disclosure, but wait also when they are taking the temperature and pressure, which delayed the doctor frequently to inspect the situation?, calling for the need to deal seriously and more interaction with the cases that reach emergency, it is well worth the speed to handle.

According to another, called أبوسيف, that refer to the emergency department last month, after feeling the pain of an acute abdomen, without obvious reasons, felt a fear and faster to go to the emergency department, and was surprised that he has to wait for a long time, and every moment is getting pain unit and rises screaming, and increases Tension also, every minute that passes on patient waiting doctor Keldahr, asking, 'Why all this slowness in dealing with the disease? Is not it supposed to be a speed in dealing with the situations that you have to visit the emergency department? ?.

In contrast, the head of the emergency department and accident hospital Sheikh Khalifa in Ajman, Dr Abdul Karim Helmi, said that ?the priority in the emergency department for emergencies already, but the situation is urgent (cold), it is possible to wait two or three hours, the better to retreat clinics Foreign allocated to these cases, and unjustified because the decline in the Accident and Emergency Department and increase the pressure on him.

He explained that the situation that comes to the section awaiting according to their nature, whether emergency or cold, and we have congestion great in emergency situations, and a priority in the treatment and follow-up and detection, and, consequently, have been waiting for the situation cold a long time, which means that the waiting and delays have non-emergency, there is no it make sense to have a cold emergency call yelling and tension, the priority hazardous situation, and its non-emergency outpatient clinics.

And follow my dream, we have in section 10 doctors, in addition to the head of the department, working around the clock in three shifts with all the efficiency and professionalism and commitment.

He added that the department receives about ‬ 350 case a variety of day, between the injury traffic accidents, and cases of the fall of the workers, and injuries fires, and injuries are different, in addition to cases of satisfactory emergency variety, such as cases esoteric and hearty, surgical and bones, diseases of children.
