Not limited to the intensive care unit, ICU Doctors are in charge of patients in critical condition in all departments, including hospital wards such as the pediatric ward, operating rooms, emergency rooms, and examination rooms, and work in collaboration with each department to provide high-quality care. In many projects, ICU Doctors are on-call 24 hours a day. Their work is done under the supervision of the medical team leader of the project, the medical coordination of the country, the cell, and the medical department of the headquarters.
