HAMAD Medical Corporation (HMC) has announced that more than 20,000 outpatient visits were recorded between June and August of this year at its new Medical City hospitals.
In recent months the three new hospitals, the Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI), the Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) and the Women's Wellness and Research Center (WWRC), have started to deliver a number of inpatient and outpatient services benefiting thousands of residents. The new Medical City hospitals are at the heart of the biggest healthcare facilities expansion in the region.
The Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI), one of the region's largest tertiary rehabilitation hospitals dedicated to delivering personalised, patient-centred, rehabilitative care, was the first new Medical City hospital to open its doors. Thousands of patients have benefitted from the state-of-the-art facilities and care offered at the hospital's outpatient clinics, including physical medicine and rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, speech therapy, adult neuro occupational therapy, adult neuro physiotherapy and day rehabilitation. Since March the facility has also cared for a number of inpatients.
The Ambulatory Care Center (ACC), which when fully open will offer day care surgery to thousands of patients each year, has also opened a number of new clinics in recent months, including outpatient podiatry services. Like QRI, the ACC has seen a growing demand for its services. Patients are now benefitting from care delivered at various ACC clinics, including the Digestive (GI) and Liver Disease and Digestive (GI) Endoscopy Clinics. Urology services have also successfully relocated from Hamad General Hospital to the ACC and the number of patients being treated in the new location grows each week.
The Women's Wellness and Research Center (WWRC), which will be one of the largest tertiary hospitals in the region once fully open, is currently serving outpatients at its Uro-Gynecology, Gynecology-Oncology and Colposcopy and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Clinics as well as the Newborn Screening Unit.
