Patients are treated at the health centers for non-life threatening medical requirements such as minor burns, sprains, acute headaches or earaches, dehydration, and dizziness.

Under Urgent Care Services, PHCC provides a complete service given by a specialized team to satisfy the urgent medical requirements of the community in a simple, accessible, rapid, and effective manner.

This is part of Qatar's efforts, led by smart leadership, to devote particular attention to the health sector as one of the essential sectors that constitutes a core pillar of nation-building," a PHCC statement stated earlier.
