An application form is sent to be filled and attached with a copy of national ID. After volunteers are selected, they will take a 2-hour guide tour inside the hospital informing them about their rights and patients' rights in addition to a simplified explanation of work ethic. This tour is conducted once every two weeks.

 

She pointed out that volunteers are distributed into crowded places in different parts of the hospital; be it corridors heading to clinics, laboratories, radiology, etc. She illustrated that the work is divided into two shifts; Morning Shift 7:30 am: 12:00 pm and Evening Shift 1:00 pm: 4:30 pm. In addition, the volunteer has the absolute discretion to select the suitable shift.
