HE the Minister of Public Health Dr Hanan Mohamed al-Kuwari inaugurated Monday the Primary Health Care Corporation's South Al Wakra Health Centre. She stressed that the plan to open a number of new health centres in the country seeks to meet the increasing needs of the public for primary healthcare services, taking into account the geographical distribution and population density of each area in which a health centre is launched.
The Ministry of Public Health is working to ensure that all patients receive healthcare at the right time and place, while improving patients' experience and enhancing their safety. There is also a continuous development of the quality of services provided to keep pace with patients' needs, while applying the best and highest standards of quality.
Managing Director of PHCC Dr Mariam Abdulmalik said that the new centre has been provided with all the necessary requirements to deliver an outstanding health and medical services level for optimal use. Dr Abdulmalik explained that the distribution of services in health centres has been done in accordance with the plans developed, corporate strategy, future vision, and the needs of patients, noting that South Al Wakra Health Centre has been implemented in accordance with the highest standards approved for health facilities and with international standards, to achieve the required sustainability standards and ensure the comprehensiveness and integration of services.
With the launch of South Al Wakra Health Centre, the number of PHCC health centres increased to 28, distributed across all regions of the country, where a number of patients in the zone will be transferred to the new health centre, which will have a positive impact on booking appointments, especially for specialised clinics.
In the first year, the centre's capacity will be 5,000 patients, then it will gradually increase to 10,000. The new centre will receive patients during the official working hours between 7am to 11pm, Sunday to Thursday. Spread over an area of about 3,000sq m, South Al Wakra Health Centre is a single-storey main building covering nine clinics.
The building's design also reflects the heritage and culture of Qatar without compromising on international standards of safety for fire protection, besides green buildings and a 3-star sustainability rating. Another important feature of the design is inclusion of next generation technologies in the field of medical equipment. Most notably, the design of the new health centres came in accordance with the highest standards of quality and safety and with the standards of the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), where architectural and operational considerations were taken to accomplish a 3-star environmental level in terms of energy saving and environment preservation.
