The Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has been undergoing one of the biggest healthcare facilities expansion in the entire region.

The three hospitals which HMC recently launched reached a milestone when more than 20,000 outpatients visited them between June and August this year, reported Gulf Times.

The three hospitals — the Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI), the Ambulatory Care Centre (ACC) and the Women’s Wellness and Research Centre (WWRC) — have started to deliver a number of inpatient and outpatient services, reported The Peninsula.

The QRI, one of the region’s largest tertiary rehabilitation hospitals, was the first new Medical City hospital to open its doors. Since March, the facility has cared for a number of inpatients.

The 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.

Patients are now benefiting from care delivered at various ACC clinics, including the Digestive and Liver Disease, and Digestive Endoscopy Clinics.

Urology services have also successfully relocated from the Hamad General Hospital to the ACC, and the number of patients being treated in the new location grows each week.
