Minister of Public Health Her Excellency Dr Hanan Mohamed al Kuwari inaugurated the new Central Clinical Laboratories (CCL) at the Qatar Rehabilitation
Institute (QRI).
The inauguration was held as part of a three-day exhibition and symposium.
The new fully automated central laboratory is part of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology’s (DLMP) continued transformation, which involves a commitment to standardised testing and the implementation of automated platforms.
“The DLMP performs more than 17 million tests each year and provides a comprehensive range of highly specialised laboratory services for the people of Qatar,” said Dr Kuwari.
“The new state-of-the-art medical laboratory is purpose-built, designed and equipped to the highest international standards. This new facility is enabling Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) to meet the increasingly complex current and future healthcare needs of Qatar’s population,” she added.
The DLMP not only serves the patients of HMC, with dedicated facilities at 14 sites, but also provides referral services to more than 135 customers across Qatar. This includes military, police, embassies, international schools, banks, private hospitals and national and multinational companies. The new central clinical laboratories at HMC are the first in the region to have a fully automated, computer-based laboratory information system.
Dr Ajayeb al Nabet, DLMP chairperson, said the wide range of services provided by the department across 27 different sections collectively serves as Qatar’s national laboratory, performing both sophisticated and esoteric (or niche) tests, in addition to a broad range of routine tests.
“The new labs will deliver test results quickly to physicians and our clients, enabling them to initiate the proper course of treatment for patients. Timely, accurate results and high-quality services are assured to the patients of HMC,” added Dr Nabet.
The opening of the new laboratories coincided with the Sixth Annual Lab Day celebrations, which highlighted the role the lab team plays in delivering the highest quality patient care. This included a public exhibition held in the lobby of the Women’s Wellness and Research Center and the Ambulatory Care Center featuring the different sections within the department and the wide expertise they offer.
The celebrations also include a two-day symposium on heart disease, which saw a range of Qatar-based and international cardiology and pathology experts share their knowledge and experience.
