Doha: In a post on Twitter, the Hamad Injury Prevention Program [HIPP], Hamad Trauma Center (HTC) of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) advised all citizens and residents of Qatar to practice proven safe e-scooter use specially in Ramadan.
The advise came as a result of a number of victims with injuries caused by e-scooters.
"The Hamad Trauma Center has already seen victims with severe e-scooter injuries and there have been reports of many minor to moderate e-scooter injuries needing care at the various emergency rooms in Qatar," HMC mentioned in the post.
In the same post, the Hamad Injury Prevention Program [HIPP] also mentioned that it is sharing the best practice for use and regulation of e-scooters because "it does not want it to be inevitable that e-scooters will be the cause of more severe injuries here in Qatar especially during Ramadan where kids and other users will ride them mostly at night".
