The Department of Health Education at the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Al Qassim recently inaugurated a 2-day awareness campaign about Antithrombotic Drugs held at PSCCQ's Cardiac OPD in the presence of Ms. Ghaidah Al Najem, Head of Health Education. 

This activity purposely aimed to spread the awareness about Antithrombotic Drugs and it also aimed the pharmacy students to give the practical chance of teaching the patients with the anti-coagulant medication or the so-called Warfarin. Likewise, the students comprehensively taught the importance of this medicine, the mechanism of action and its side effects.

This activity was in collaboration with the joint participation of King Fahad Specialist Hospital pharmacy, King Saud Hospital and Pharmacy Students of Qassim University under the supervision of Health Educator Ms. Shaimaa Ziad Mahmoud.

The center extended its gratefulness and appreciation to the staff and students behind this purposeful and successful endeavor.
