Hamad Medical Corporation’s Trauma and Emergency Centre has increased bed capacity by 60% within the female assessment area to deliver improved access for patients.
"The expansion will ensure patients are rapidly assessed and given the appropriate treatment," explained Dr Abdulla al-Ansari, HMC’s chief medical officer.
“Since opening in 2019, the Trauma and Emergency Centre has been providing high-quality medical services to patients in need of emergency healthcare services," he pointed out.
Patients are received through the See and Treat on the ground floor of the centre as well as via the trauma, urgent and critical care services available across the centre’s other three floors.
Dr Aftab Mohammad Azad, deputy chairman, Corporate Department of Emergency Medicine said the expansion of the female assessment area follows the recently established Emergency Department Observation Unit.
"This new Unit is dedicated to patients who have moderate medical conditions, but do not need full admission to Hamad General Hospital’s Inpatient Unit, and require monitoring and treatment for up to 23 hours before being discharged home,” he added.
