Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has announced the relocation of its Paediatric Emergency Centre (PEC) from PHCC Al Daayen to Aisha Bint Hamad Al Attiyah Hospital, from September 8.
Al Daayen PEC was established in 2011 to cater to the local community in the north region of Qatar. In 2023, the service treated almost 58,000 patients and with the continued growing demand for paediatric care and the need to expand services, it was decided to transfer to HMC’s nearby Aisha Bint Hamad Al Attiyah Hospital opened in 2022.
The move will leverage Aisha Bint Hamad Al Attiyah Hospital’s state-of-the-art facilities and specialised medical expertise and resources, improving access to high-quality paediatric care and delivering a streamlined process for patients.
Dr Mohammed Alamri, chairman of Paediatric Departments HMC and director of PEC’s said the move is focused on improved patient care and delivering a more integrated healthcare experience. "We aim to create a more effective and patient-centered healthcare environment that prioritizes excellence in care delivery and positive outcomes for all patients.”
Dr Ibrahim Fawzy, medical director and acting CEO of AAH added: “The transfer of paediatric services to Aisha Bint Hamad Al-Attiyah Hospital represents a significant step towards improving healthcare delivery, enhancing patient outcomes and advancing medical excellence. The service will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and caters to the paediatric population aged 0-14 years old with emergency medical conditions.”
