5 Introduction Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is the premier not-for-profit health care provider in Qatar. Established by Emiri decree in 1979, the Corporation has developed highly specialised medical facilities capable of providing state-ofthe-art diagnosis and treatment of diseases that previously could only be managed in overseas medical centres. Today the Emir, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani's vision is to provide high quality healthcare services to all, which meet the best global standards of quality and outcomes. Consequently this is an especially exciting time for healthcare provision in the State of Qatar with a recent major restructuring of the system and a concomitant large scale expansion of healthcare services. Equally in order to develop an integrated world class healthcare system HMC is investing in high class research and education in addition to preventive, primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare provision. Qatar's Vision for 2030 puts healthcare at the core of its future strategy. The backdrop to these transformational changes is a rapidly expanding population in Qatar (600,000 in 2000 to 1.8 million in 2012) alongside a very large growth in the expatriate workforce. Key health conditions in Qatar, aside from trauma injuries, are cardiovascular disease and hypertension, diabetes, respiratory conditions and asthma, obesity and other chronic conditions with related and costly long term care implications. The health system in Qatar is almost exclusively government funded but there are recent developments in private sector provision. Initiatives are in place covering health insurance models and also the introduction of an element of self pay for non Qatari nationals. The vast majority, (around 90-95%) of inpatient care is provided by the state-owned Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), which also provides a range of other services. 5

6 An overview of Hamad Medical Corporation Current Service Provision Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is an integrated and growing health care delivery system that currently provides 90-95% of acute and sub-acute care services in Qatar. It is the largest employer in Qatar, with over 20,000 staff (rising to 26,000 by the end of 2013), and is one of the largest health providers in the Middle East. At the current time its portfolio includes eight hospitals, a comprehensive ambulance service and Home Healthcare Services.

The Corporation's Vision is based on three pillars: Health Education Research They are reflected in its new logo and expressed in accompanying statements.

8 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended to more than 85,000 incidents last year with the Life Flight Air Ambulance service responding to 600 calls requiring critical care support. Home Health Care which was formally launched in 2009 and received JCI accreditation in 2010 undertook over 9,000 home visits. New Facilities HMC is embarking on one of the biggest and most ambitious master facility plans ever seen in international healthcare, with a range of facilities opening this year or being planned for future years. Qatar's Public Works Authority (ASHGHAL) and South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction Company have signed a QR1.9 billion deal for furnishing and equipping three state-of-the-art hospitals and a research centre. The planning of the hospitals is taking into consideration the highest medical standards and the latest international technologies to make them the best pioneering healthcare facilities in the region. Work began in early 2011 and is scheduled for completion in As the master plan is implemented, by late 2013, a Women's Hospital with 190 private rooms, a Minimally Invasive Day Surgery Centre, The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital and a Translational Research Institute will be opened to introduce new services and significantly increase the capacity of the system to meet the population's growing demands. Academic Affiliations & Clinical Partnerships Hamad Medical Corporation s vision is to achieve international recognition as a world-class quality health care provider, supported by partnerships with international health providers and academic institutions to foster the three pillars of health, education and research.

9 The Academic Health System The healthcare system in Qatar is state funded and available to all at little or no cost via a network of hospitals and healthcare centres delivering high quality health care. Although most of the hospital system is integrated through Hamad Medical Corporation, primary care and the various academic institutions are also to be aligned with the hospital sector to provide optimal pathways of care and programmes of research. The Academic Health System initiative is designed to achieve this, aligning the various strands with a single mission and vision. These health systems are a potential solution to integration problems because of their unique combination of teaching, research, and patient care. Their strength results from the seamless integration of these central activities to improve health and well being, search for innovative healthcare solutions, and ensure a modern, flexible, and sustainable workforce. The Academic Health System partnership will enable multidisciplinary teams to address key research questions and ensure rapid translation into clinical practice. To be leading organisations of the future, Academic Health Systems should be focused directly on their communities and regions. This focus involves development of a social conscience and provision of tangible economic and personal health benefits to the community. These social determinants of health include an individual's social circumstance, environment, and behaviour patterns. Qatar has a unique opportunity to embrace this concept and develop a distinctive Academic Health System, which will allow the diverse academic institutions and healthcare providers to work in harmony for the public good, and seek sustainable and affordable healthcare solutions. This development includes embedding a public health system and exploration of innovative health system designs and new models of healthcare delivery. With this approach HMC aims to identify new ways of working, which will make appropriate healthcare available to the Qatari population in a Community or Primary Care setting. This will be achieved by harnessing modern technology aligned to a flexible and skilled workforce to help shift the emphasis from secondary care to primary care and prevention. The Academic Health System initiative website has information about the partners, governance arrangements, strategy, and its distinguished international advisory board. Each institution will remain legally independent, but united with a shared vision and an overarching strategic plan. A translational research institute has been developed at Hamad Medical Corporation to complement the other biomedical research facilities in Qatar, including state-of-the-art core research facilities at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar. The Institute will host the Qatar Biobank, funded by the 9

10 Qatar Foundation, which will include a prospective epidemiological study of the Qatari population (in collaboration with Imperial College, London, UK) and a disease-specific tissue repository. The indigenous Qatari population provides a potentially important study group because it is stable and derived from three main genetic sources - the Arabian Peninsula, Iran and Africa. The Translational Research Institute build is now complete and the TRI should be functioning fully by For the AHS website see 10
