Doha, Qatar: Over the years, the Home Healthcare Service (HHCS) has evolved into one of the most prominent services provided by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), significantly transforming healthcare accessibility across Qatar.
By bringing healthcare into the comfortable environment of homebound patients’ homes, HHCS ensures personalized care but also promotes continuity and holistic well-being.
Home Healthcare Service teams from HMC presently attend to more than 3,000 pediatric and adult patients residing throughout Qatar, according to Dr. Hanan Al Yazidi, Senior Consultant, Family Medicine, Home Healthcare Services.
Speaking to The Peninsula, Dr. Al Yazidi said that Home Healthcare Service aimed at providing holistic and specialised support to patients who have been discharged from the hospital but require follow-up care and rehabilitation.
“It helps to ease the burden on hospitals,” she said adding that Home Healthcare Service also helps to reduce visits to emergency department and re-admission to hospitals.
