Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has launched the Urgent Consultation Service, a service dedicated to urgent medical advice to speak with a doctor over the phone and obtain medical advice about a health condition immediately.
HMC stated, through its official account on Twitter, that this service is obtained by calling (16000) from 8 am to 3 pm from Sunday to Thursday, then pressing (3).
HMC clarified that the service is available when urgent specialized medical advice is needed, when medicines need to be re-dispensed, and if the patient suffers from some change in his health condition and does not have a medical appointment soon.
