About Us

Hamad Medical Corporation has been Qatar’s principal public healthcare provider for more than three decades and is dedicated to delivering the safest, most effective and compassionate care to all patients. Managing eight hospitals and operating the national Ambulance Service and a Home Healthcare Service, Hamad is building a legacy of healthcare expertise through excellence in clinical care, medical education and research. All of HMC’s hospitals, as well as the Ambulance Service and Home Healthcare Service, are accredited by the Joint Commission International, which recognizes high quality healthcare organizations.

In 2013, HMC became the first hospital system in the Middle East to achieve accreditation from the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education - International (ACGME-I), which demonstrates excellence in the way medical graduates are trained through residency, internship and fellowship programs. Additionally, HMC’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology is accredited by the prestigious College of American Pathologists, recognizing its positive impact on patient care. HMC plays a key role in many areas of Qatar’s National Health Strategy, including diabetes, cancer, organ transplantation and mental health. Academic health is central to HMC’s healthcare vision, which, at its heart, combines innovative research, top class education and excellent clinical care.

HMC has kept pace with the rapid growth and development of the nation in recent decades. This progress is evident in both the expansion of facilities to meet demand as well as improved quality of care. Three new state-of-the-art facilities have been opened since 2011: Al Wakra Hospital, The Cuban Hospital and Heart Hospital, and HMC is in the early stages of planning and delivery on one of the most ambitious hospital building programs currently underway anywhere in the world that will significantly expand capacity.


Hamad Hospital Services

Ambulance Service

The Ambulance Service fulfills an essential life-saving role for the people of Qatar. Every incident that the Ambulance Service is called to offers different challenges in terms of the injuries faced, the number of people affected, the location and the support required. The Ambulance Service receives more than 130,000 calls each year to which ambulance teams respond, using our fleet of ambulances, rapid response vehicles and LifeFlight helicopters. In addition to being accredited by JCI, the Ambulance Service’s Medical Communication Center was recently named an Accredited Center of Excellence (ACE).


Hamad General Hospital

Hamad General Hospital is a 600-bed facility offering highly specialized and complex care to the people of Qatar. It offers a wide range of medical care and clinical services, including trauma, emergency medicine, pediatrics, critical care, specialized and sub-specialized surgery, specialized medicine, laboratory medicine, diagnostic imaging and acute adult rehabilitation services. The hospital, which opened in 1982, provides expert inpatient care, a large outpatient department providing more than 65 specialty clinics, a highly developed Emergency Department, five intensive care units, eight operating theaters and a larger pharmacy. Modern diagnostic facilities including laboratory, medicine, pathology and radiology facilities support all therapeutic services.

The hospital manages the Fahad Bin Jassim Kidney Center, which offers some of the most advanced treatment standards in the region for patients with acute and chronic kidney ailments. The high standard trauma services at HMC received World Health Organization’s (WHO) recognition and the Trauma Center has recently received the Trauma Distinction Accreditation from Accreditation Canada International (ACI). Within the Emergency Department, the use of the ‘see and treat’ model of care for less critical patients has dramatically reduced patient waiting times and enhanced the patient experience.

The National Diabetes Center opened in 2013 provides Qatar’s diabetic population with improved patient care and access to specialized services through a multi-disciplinary approach. The hospital has developed a highly regarded Robotics Surgery Program, which is one of many service offerings provided by its well established surgical department that has developed into a multi-sub-specialized surgical center of excellence. Hamad General Hospital has a strong partnership with Weill Cornell Medical School in Qatar, and around 400 residents rotate through its services yearly. We also collaborate closely with the University of Calgary to support its nursing program and many of the brightest nursing graduates join our hospital each year.


Al Khor Hospital

Al Khor Hospital provides healthcare services to the growing population in the northern region of Qatar. Prior to the opening of the 110-bed hospital, people living in the Al Khor area would need to travel to Doha for much of their healthcare needs. Al Khor Hospital’s Breastfeeding Management and Resource Center, Qatar’s first integrated multidisciplinary breastfeeding management program, recently received prestigious awards from the Dubai Health Authority and the International Lactation Consultant Association, USA. A new Pediatric Emergency Care and Dialysis Unit have been opened at the hospital further adding to the healthcare facilities available to the community.


Al Wakra Hospital

Al Wakra Hospital (AWH) is the newest of Hamad Medical Corporation’s hospitals. Opened in 2012, this impressive general hospital has been designed, built and staffed with the changing needs and expectations of the growing community in the country’s south in mind. AWH provides comprehensive, high quality healthcare to people of all ages, from emergency care, to general medicine and surgery and highly specialized treatments.  AWH is committed to delivering diagnostic and treatment services to its patients in an integrated and efficient way.

A second National Diabetes Center was launched at the hospital in late 2014 to improve access to specialized care for diabetics living in Al Wakra. The local community has greatly benefitted since the opening of AWH as they are now able to access state-of-the-art healthcare services close to home and no longer need to travel to Doha for much of their hospital care.


The Cuban Hospital

Located in Dukhan in the west of the country, The Cuban Hospital (CH) is a joint venture project between the State of Qatar and the Cuban Government. Formerly known as Dukhan Hospital, the name was changed in November 2011 to highlight the special partnership that exists between Qatar and the nation of Cuba. Officially opened in January 2012, the hospital’s Cuban medical staff services the healthcare needs of the population in the west of Qatar. Cuba’s own healthcare system is well respected around the world and the close ties with Qatar ensure the hospital provides a high level of patient-centered healthcare. The Cuban Hospital provides a full range of community general hospital physician and surgical disciplines. In addition, it has a Rehabilitation Center with a hydrotherapy pool, and a specialist dental service.


Heart Hospital

The 116-bed Heart Hospital is Hamad Medical Corporation’s specialist tertiary centre for delivery of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery in Qatar and delivering the broadest range of specialist cardiac facilities in the country. Opened in 2010, it is equipped to the very highest and latest standards comparable with the best in the region in modern spacious facilities. Heart Hospital’s areas of specialty include Cardiology, Cardiothoracic, Non Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Intermediate and Intensive Care and Emergency Care.


National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR)

The 60-bed National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) is the premier cancer hospital for the State of Qatar. It is part of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and looks after cancer patients who require ongoing treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. NCCCR also treats blood conditions and will soon be opening the first Center for Bone Marrow Transplants in Qatar.NCCCR adopts cutting edge technology and the latest methodologies to provide world class cancer therapies. Education and research programs are a strong focus for staff at NCCCR and these pillars can be translated into improvements to patient care.

The National Cancer Strategy for Qatar, which was launched in 2011, stipulates a number of recommendations for improving the cancer journey for patients and these recommendations translate to direct improvements in patient care at NCCCR. The NCCCR aims to provide the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to each and every one of its patients, at every stage of their life. In January 2015, the NCCCR opened the Supportive and Palliative Care Unit for patients who need help with symptom control in the late stages of their illnesses. They can receive the care they need in privacy and with dignity at the unit.


Rumailah Hospital

Rumailah Hospital is the oldest general hospital in the State of Qatar. It operates over seven different sites, with more than 540 beds and a multi-national workforce of more than 2,000 employees. Rumailah provides a warm, welcoming and healing environment, focused on providing high quality and safe patient centered care. The additional sites that fall under Rumailah’s services that are situated around Qatar include the 138-bed Enaya Specialized Care Center, a mental health department, a residential compound for patients with specialist long term care needs, pediatric dentistry and two physiotherapy departments.


Women’s Hospital

The Women’s Hospital delivers a very large obstetric service and is responsible for the vast majority of births in Qatar. In 2014, the hospital helped deliver around 16,000 babies, an average of about 44 births per day. This makes it one of the busiest of Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) eight hospitals. The facilities offered can be compared to the best in the world. It has 291 inpatient care beds, a large Outpatient Department, an emergency room, 16 labor and delivery suites and three operating theatres.

Recent improvements have seen the addition of a new Observation Unit and the expansion of its Feto-Maternal Unit, which cares for women with high-risk pregnancies. In addition to women's health, a neonatal unit provides intensive care to newborns. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has 71 beds/incubators.


Walk in Centers/ Pediatric Emergency Centers:

A National network of Walk in Centers operates across Qatar to see emergency presentations of patients with minor injury and illness. This includes two purpose built units in Hamad International Airport, a service which will expand to three clinics in the near future. These clinics allow rapid access to specialist Emergency Doctors for patients who do not need to access the larger Emergency Departments. The Pediatric Emergency Centers offer rapid access to a specialized pediatric emergency team 24 hours a day.
