HMC's Health Information Systems (HIS) Department has prepared the new site, which contains information about all hospitals and healthcare centres under HMC.
Medical service fees for almost all treatments on offer can be found out through the site.
There is a medical dictionary in English and Arabic. Medical library (accessible only to HMC staff) and medical journals (accessible to all) published by HMC are available online.
The journals are Middle East Journal of Emergency Medicine, Heart Views, Qatar Medical Journal (all in English), Health Journal, and Nabbd Alhayat (both in Arabic).
Tenders, daily health tips, and a map of Doha, and facility to list vacancies under HMC and receive applications online are among the other features of the site.
There is special login facility for HMC staff on the homepage itself, with provisions for checking e-mail, payslip and HMC phone directory.
The links provided include those to the sites of The Pan Arab Society of Trauma and Emergency Medicine, Qatar National Cancer Society, Hamad International Training Centre, and Qatar e-Government.
"We are planning to introduce through the website the option for patients to request appointments, and apply for refill of medication," al-Noimi said.
HIS's web section head Iyad, co-ordinator Taha al-Isai and HMC Media Department's director Mohamed Jassim al-Jassim were also present on the occasion.
