Sidra Medicine launches specialised Memory Clinic for women

Sidra Medicine has opened a Memory Clinic, dedicated to addressing the unique mental health needs of women, aged 60 and above as part of the hospital’s strategic expansion of its range of wellness and mental health services for women in Qatar. Sidra Medicine’s officials said that the Memory Clinic will serve as a vital resource for women concerned about dementia, offering both preventative measures for those seeking to maintain cognitive health and specialized care for those already diagnosed. The Memory Clinic will offer comprehensive and compassionate care for a range of cognitive concerns, with a particular focus on the early detection, and management of dementia. Early intervention allows for timely treatment and management strategies, which can significantly improve outcomes and potentially slow the progression of conditions like dementia, with research suggesting that women are at a higher risk of developing dementia, with up to 40 percent of dementia cases being preventable.
