Secretarial Section
The Secretarial Pool provides qualified secretaries, based on availability of staff, for temporary coverage to the Hospital departments/divisions during periods of leave, sickness, or other short-term absences of their regularly assigned secretaries.
The Typing Pool provides typing and formatting (English/Arabic) of Hospital documents, including letters, contracts, reports, manuals, and/or other special projects that cannot be handled by the requesting department.

There is a common typing pool in the radiology departments where all radiology investigation reports are typed. A portion of the reports is typed at the US counter also.
