The Ministry of Health (MOH) recently developed the Health Sector Transformation Program (HTSP) to focus on patient satisfaction, safety, and care. This study explored patient satisfaction with outpatient care services. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed to collect the data of patient satisfaction with pharmacy care services through face-to face interviews of participants and over the internet using an electronic format of the same questionnaire (web-based survey). A total of 508 participants responded of whom, 51.8% were male and 83% were below 46 years old. The average scores of domains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were 4.51, 4.11, 4.30, 3.70, 3.57, 3.82, 3.63, and 4.15, respectively. The general evaluation of pharmacy services demonstrated that respondents were very satisfied (245; 48.2%), satisfied (143; 28%), and willing to recommend the pharmacy to their families (380; 76.4%). There was no statistically significant difference in the overall satisfaction with pharmacy services among the 2 hospitals (P > .05). Most respondents were satisfied with outpatient care pharmacy services. More efforts are needed to improve the service of following up on patients' adherence by the pharmacists.
