Doha: The new Women’s Wellness and Research Center (WWRC) of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), being a specialist hub for women’s health services, will also offer care for gynaecologic disorders and diseases, says a senior official.
It will focus on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gynaecologic disorders, besides obstetrics services, said Dr Moayyad Younis, Head of Minimal Invasive Surgery in Gynaecology at the WWRC. “WWRC will focus on diseases as well. Our focus is to be the place of excellence in gynaecologic services not only in Qatar but in the region,” Dr Younis told The Peninsula.
Advanced facilities and services at the WWRC are aimed at providing the best care for any type of gynecologic disorders and diseases. The WWRC will offer women a variety of gynecology clinics in the Outpatient Department to manage a wide range of female health issues. Equipped with dedicated operating theaters to conduct elective gynecology surgeries, the facility will also offer major surgery such as endoscopic, laparoscopic (keyhole) and robotic surgery, preventing women from having to travel abroad for their care.
The new facility has different units to treat disorders such as gynecologic oncology, uro gynecology, fibroids, endometriosis, cervical disorders and other related diseases, says Dr Younis.
The WWRC Gynaecology-Oncology clinics are also dedicated to managing cancers of the female reproductive system, including cancer of the uterus, cancer of the ovaries and cervical cancer. In addition, WWRC will offer a colposcopy clinic for the screening, diagnosis, treatment and education of women with abnormal Pap smear tests and other related pre-cancer disorders.
Also the other clinics include team of experts to diagnose and treat patients. “With the opening of the new WWRC, we have new clinics and the number of theatres have increased. So we can accommodate high number of gynaecologic cases and provide them with the best care,” said Dr Younis.
All gynaecology related services at the WWRC are supported by other departments such as the radiology unit.
WWRC is part of Hamad bin Khalifa Medical City, a purpose built campus providing a range of specialized healthcare services in the heart of Doha. Medical City demonstrates HMC’s commitment to improving the lives of our patients by providing timely access to world class specialist care delivered in state of the art facilities.
As the largest women’s tertiary hospital in the country, the WWRC is equipped with a large emergency department with an expanded visitor waiting area, seven operating theatres, 26 delivery rooms, 240 private inpatient rooms with bathrooms and a number of specialized outpatient clinics for obstetrics and gynaecology.
