The Emergency Department provides rapid and varied emergency care, especially for those who suffer from a sudden and acute illness or who are the victims of major trauma.
The emergency medical services serve the Al Khor area, QP Company, Ras Lafan Industrial Area, Al Shamal and other nearby areas of the northern region of Qatar. The department has 28 beds and provides emergency services around the clock, seven days a week.
The department works closely both with inpatient units (Medical Ward, Surgical Ward, Orthopedic Ward, Intensive Care Unit) and external medical services (e.g. transfers to Hamad General Hospital, Rumailah Psychiatry Unit, Rumailah Burns Unit and the Pediatric Surgery Unit). Our skilled team of emergency care specialists is committed to providing high quality patient-centered care.
We offer a wide range of therapeutic services from the management of minor surgical procedures like suturing, to acute management of polytrauma and other surgical emergencies.
Stroke telemedicine system was launched in 2016 to improving care for stroke patients admitted to Al Khor Hospital. The stroke telemedicine system was jointly developed by teams at Hamad General Hospital’s Stroke Ward, Al Khor’s Emergency Department and the Health Information and Communication Technology department. The telemedicine technology enables direct evaluation of stroke patients admitted at Al Khor’s Emergency Department, and allows real-time examination of the CT scan imagery by HMC’s expert stroke team based at Hamad General Hospital’s Stroke Ward in Doha, facilitating immediate treatment with life-saving therapies.
