HMC’s Hazam Mebaireek General Hospital officials and medical staff announcing they have successfully performed 10,000 surgeries in two years.
Doha: Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital announced that 10,000 surgeries have been successfully performed at the hospital in a span of two years.
The surgeries covered several specialties, including urology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, and urgent surgeries. The hospital has recently celebrated this achievement in the presence of Ali Al Janahi, HMC’s Acting Assistant Managing Director; Dr. Abdulla Al Ansari, HMC’s Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of Surgery; Hussein Ishaq, CEO of Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital; Dr. Ahmad Al Mohammed, Medical Director of Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital, as well as a number of surgeons, physicians and hospital staff members.
Dr. Al Ansari explained that performing 10,000 surgeries at Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital within 24 months is a remarkable achievement and an important milestone in the hospital’s successful journey of development and improvement. Performing this number of surgeries in such a short time frame reflects the hard work and dedication of the hospital’s administration and distinguished team of surgeons.
This is despite the temporary cessation of surgical activity for several non-consecutive months due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict adherence to precautionary measures, which enabled the hospital to conduct emergency surgeries only during certain periods.
“This achievement supports HMC’s plans to maintain the highest levels of service through continuous improvement of the quality of care provided to patients and the adoption of the best internationally recognised practices, as well as the use of the latest surgical techniques to ensure the delivery of safe, compassionate and effective health care to all patients,” said Dr. Al Ansari.
Dr. Morshed Ali Salah, Senior Consultant, Surgery and Head of the Surgery and Urology Departments at Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital, said 50 percent of the surgeries were performed in the Urgent Surgery section, while urological surgeries constituted 25 percent of the total number of surgeries and orthopaedic and plastic surgeries constituted the remaining 25 percent.
