HAMAD Medical Corporation (HMC) has officially launched the Qatar Trauma Registry, the first and only national trauma registry in the Arab world.
Through the Qatar Trauma Registry, clinicians and other public health officials will have the data needed to make better decisions toward reducing trauma incidents in the country.
The Qatar Trauma Registry, which builds upon HMC's trauma registry, was initiated in January, 2017, with the endorsement of the Minister of Public Health HE Dr Hanan Mohamed al Kuwari.
"Our vision for Qatar is to establish an inclusive trauma system that facilitates a coordinated approach with which to deliver the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to all patients. The establishment of the Qatar Trauma Registry represents another milestone in the growth and development of our national trauma system one that is based on international best practice and is designed to achieve the best possible health outcomes for patients while also improving our health system,"Dr Kuwari said.
The Qatar Trauma Registry is also designed to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of trauma care delivery in Qatar. The national trauma system and registry concepts were developed under the leadership of Dr Hassan al Thani, head of Trauma and Vascular Surgery at HMC, along with the support of other ministries, notably the Ministry of Interior.
"The Qatar Trauma Registry is essentially a database that documents the injuries of trauma patients and the acute care they receive. It is designed to provide information that can be used to improve the efficiency and quality of trauma care delivery," said Dr Hassan."With the data collected, we can identify gaps in the way injury victims are identified and transported to where they receive care."
Director General of Traffic Brig Gen Mohamed Saad al Kharji said:"Injury is a leading cause of death and disability in people under 45 years old in Qatar. Today's announcement is a significant step towards improving trauma services across the country."
