Qatar seeking to cut overseas treatment bills for Qataris

  • Qatar: Wednesday, February 20 - 2013 at 06:27

Qatar's Hamad Medical Corp (HMC) has said the government is striving to improve and enhance its hospitals' services to discourage the practice of citizens seeking treatment abroad, which cost the government QR1.2bn in 2012, Gulf Times has reported. "With big hospital projects such as the Sidra Medical and Research Centre and the upcoming Hamad Bin Khalifa Hospital at the Qatar Foundation, being described as the biggest hospital in the world, I believe most of the people here will no longer have any excuses for not availing of local healthcare services," HMC's lead healthcare architect, Amr M Metwally, told the daily.
