On a continuous journey to expand healthcare services across the country, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has started offering surgical services at its newest hospital, Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital (HMGH).

HMC said that the first phase of implementation of these services has been completed with two operating theatres for elective general surgery and urology procedures now open.

Under this initial phase, more than 15 surgeries are expected to be performed each week.

The medical director of HMGH, Dr. Hani Kilani called the launch of the new service a noteworthy accomplishment.

“With the opening of our new operating theatres, we can now offer an even wider range of services at our state-of-the-art facility. By offering both clinics and surgery from within a single dedicated location, patients can access high-quality surgical treatment and follow-up care without needing to travel to different locations for pre- and post-surgery care and appointments,” said Dr. Kilani.

The new service at HMGH is expected to free up operating theatre capacity across HMC’s network of hospitals, he added.

The second phase of the implementation of the services, to be rolled out in the next few months, will see more operating theatres, increased capacity for elective surgical procedures in addition to providing emergency surgery and other specialties, such as orthopedics and hand surgery.

The Executive director of HMGH, Hussein Ishaq, said last year’s opening of the community-based hospital has brought care closer to where it is needed in the community.

The hospital has helped relieve pressure across HMC’s hospitals and clinics, particularly emergency services at the Hamad General and Al Wakra hospitals.

“By offering community-based quality healthcare to those living and working in the Industrial Area of Doha, patients who used to have to travel further afield to access clinical, emergency and surgical care within a hospital setting, can now access the care they need on their doorstep. This is not only far more convenient for them but also helps lessen the load on our busy hospitals in Doha,” said Ishaq.

Located in the Doha Industrial Area, Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital provides care for adult male patients, in particular to those living and working in that part of Qatar.

The hospital, which was officially opened in December 2018, offers a range of outpatient, inpatient, and emergency care services.
