Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Tobacco Control Center has opened a new smoking cessation clinic at Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital (HMGH) under its strategic plan to provide smoking cessation services across Qatar.

The launch of the new clinic signifies a key milestone for the center in its expansion journey, after the opening of a smoking cessation clinic at Al Wakra Hospital last year.

The dedicated clinic will provide services on Mondays only for now. However, there are plans to expand clinic hours based on the demand in future.

Citizens and residents can book appointments at the clinic by calling: 40240708 or by referral from HMC physicians or Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCC).
