EMERGENCY SERVICES
The ambulance service has improved spectacularly in numbers in 2002 and, as
such, ambulances are available countrywide. As a result, there is very low average
response time to an emergency call. For better service, ambulances are linked to the
Hamad Hospital via satellite.
Since the country's first hospital opened its doors almost 50 years ago Qatar's
healthcare sector has come a long way. Today, the industry claims the highly
qualified staff and most advanced medical apparatus, a countrywide web of hospitals
and healthcare centres, as well as a cardiology department that is referred to by
outside specialists as "one of the best in the world". A report given by the general
secretariat of the GCC ministers of health, Qatar has the region's lowermost
maternal mortality rate.
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
Primary health care aims to realize social development by adopting health programs
that help citizens to become productive elements in society. The programs
implemented by the Primary Health care include health consciousness, maternity
and childhood health care, immunization against childhood diseases, diagnosing and
treating chronic diseases, providing medicinal drugs, healthy food and clean water
and ambulance and medical emergency services.
HAMAD MEDICAL ORGANIZATION
Hamad Medical Organization is considered to be one of the most outstanding
specialized medical creation in the Arabian Gulf region. It was established in 1982
after completing the merger of all hospitals belonging to HMC into an integrated
administrative body comprising Hamad General Hospital, Rumailah Hospital and the
Women's Hospital.
