Hamad Outpatient Department

Specialist clinic appointments at Hamad General Hospital are handled through its Outpatient Department, part of Hamad Medical Corporation's flagship hospital in Doha. The department runs both day and evening clinics across a wide range of medical and surgical specialities for patients referred by their doctor.

Access works on a referral basis. Once a referral has been received, the hospital contacts the patient by phone to set a fixed appointment time, so there is no need to visit in person to book, and SMS reminders are sent ahead of each visit. Walk-in consultations are not accepted. Patients who need to change or cancel an appointment can do so through HMC's main telephone line. Nursing and administrative teams coordinate the clinics, and further guidance on preparing for an appointment is published on HMC's website.
