Reasons for going to an emergency department

Emergency departments are designed to care for the patients with urgent medical conditions. Patients presenting at an emergency department in Qatar are triaged on arrival to determine the severity of their condition. This allows the emergency teams to prioritise those patients with the most serious conditions and treat them first.

Pediatric Emergency Centers (PEC)

The PECs provide appropriate urgent care 24/7 for all patients up to 14 years of age. Trauma and other emergency cases should go directly to a main emergency department.

  • Main Pediatric Emergency Center: Al Sadd Street/Suhaim bin Hamad Street
  • PEC Al Daayen: Al Khor Road
  • PEC Al Rayyan: Al Fourousiya Street
