The Hamad Medical Corp (HMC) on Thursday announced the soft opening of the Industrial Area Satellite Emergency Department (IASED), marking an important milestone in urgent care in Qatar.
The new centre will handle less severe medical cases in the community and help manage more severe cases at tertiary care centres like the Hamad General Hospital. Importantly, it will also enable those living and working in the Industrial Area to access the care they need when they need it.
HMC's System Wide Incident Command Centre (SWICC) Committee chair Dr Saad al-Kaabi visited the new centre on Thursday. Plans are underway to open a similar facility very soon in Ras Laffan.
