Sidra Medical and Research Center
Sidra Medical and Research Center will be an ultra
modern, all-digital academic medical center which is being designed
and planned to the best international standards in health sciences.
It will offer specialty care for women and children.
It will encompass three essential missions:
- World-class clinical care
- Medical education
- Biomedical research
Part of a collaborative effort entitled "one program in multiple
institutions," Sidra will work closely with Weill Cornell Medical
College in Qatar and Hamad Medical Corporation in regard to all
three missions, raising the standard of health care throughout the
country and providing valuable opportunities for research and
learning.
First announced in June 2004, Sidra represents the vision of His
Highness the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and Her
Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser. The high tech facility
will not only provide world class patient care but will help build
Qatar's scientific expertise and resources. Sidra will be
funded by a US$7.9 billion endowment from Qatar Foundation, the
largest endowment of a medical and research center anywhere in the
world.
Located in Doha on Qatar Foundation's 2,500 acre Education City
campus, Sidra Medical and Research Center is expected to open in
2012. It will initially have 388 beds with infrastructure to
enable expansion to 550 beds in a subsequent phase.
