Doha: Sidra Medical and Research Center (Sidra) has announced the phased opening of its Outpatient Clinic on May 1.
With a strong patient and family-centred focus, the clinic will be a high-tech facility to enhance patient care, promote efficiency and ensure safety. Led by a team of specialised doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, services at the clinic will start with the launch of three clinics — dermatology, paediatric general surgery consultation and obstetrics.
The clinics will be supported by radiology, pathology, pharmacy and laboratory facilities. Patients requiring consultation at the three clinics will be referred to Sidra by their existing primary or secondary healthcare doctor. As it is referral based, the Sidra Outpatient Clinic will not offer emergency services.
“The opening of the clinic is an important first step in the phased opening of the centre. This marks the beginning of our journey to establish Sidra as a state-of-the-art hospital and research centre. Our goal is to provide patient-centered clinical care, conduct pioneering research and to educate and train future healthcare professionals,” said the Professor Lord Darzi of Denham, Vice-Chairman of the centre.
“Our team has worked incredibly hard and has been collaborating closely with Hamad Medical Corporation in preparing for the opening of the clinic. Every aspect of the services and technology at the clinic will be centred on patient safety and enhancing the patient experience,” continued Lord Darzi.
