Prime Minister and Minister of Interior HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al Thani on Saturday visited the new building that will house the Emergency Department of the Hamad General Hospital.
Sheikh Abdullah toured the 30,000-square-metre facility, which is four times bigger than the old emergency building, and reviewed the progress towards completion.
Accompanied by the several ministers, including Minister of Public Health HE Dr Hanan Mohammed al Kuwari and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) officials, the prime minister inspected various departments and medical equipment at the facility.
The new emergency building, which adds 27,000 square metres of additional space and amenities to 3,000 sqm of the existing facility, is set to open later this year, Dr Kuwari said.
The construction has reached its final stages, she said, noting that the four-time bigger facility would extend critical care to a larger number of patients.
The new building has four floors and 297 treatment rooms, making the new facility one of the largest in the region for specialised emergency care. It will also feature 14 operating rooms and 23 rooms for diagnostic radiology of various types, in addition to a multi-storied parking facility that can accommodate 798 cars and has an emergency helipad.
The new building is located opposite the Hamad Emergency General Hospital’s existing emergency room and will provide a comprehensive package of diagnostic and therapeutic facilities for emergency cases, including short-stay rooms, a rapid treatment unit and hyperbaric oxygen therapy unit.
The project also has the capacity to handle disasters. It includes a training centre, education and administrative services as well as diagnostic radiology and laboratory for analysis and pharmacy.
Routes linking the new building with other parts of the hospital will be created to ensure more efficient patient transport, including a direct route connecting the building and the adjacent new operating theatres and the intensive care unit of Hamad General Hospital.
