how does COVID-19 impact patients and visitors coming to Sidra Medicine?
To ensure the safety of our patients and families, Sidra Medicine strives to remain free of the COVID-19 virus. To achieve this we ask a set of basic questions and will take the temperature of everyone entering the hospital as well as request the parent or guardian to show the status of the Ehteraz app on their smartphones. Initial screenings are done at the entries to our outpatient clinics and our Emergency Department.
Please note that we only test patients who are admitted to Sidra Medicine for specialty care that is not available at another healthcare facility.
Please do not come to the Sidra Medicine Outpatient clinic if you are sick or have close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The Research Branch at Sidra Medicine is tasked with two strategic goals: establishing a strong, clinically oriented biomedical research program, and developing a national resource of genomic information that improves health in Qatar and the region.
Achieving these goals requires significant collaboration both internally – among research, corporate and clinical stakeholders – and externally, via strategic partnerships with other Qatar-based and international institutions, that combine to establish world-class, research-driven care for our patients.

Culture
Qataris are well known for their generosity and friendliness. Qatar has a rich Arab culture, which is reflected in the wealth of its customs and traditions. Whilst Arabic is the official language, the most commonly spoken is English.
Islam is the official religion, traditional Islamic festivals are an integral part of the culture of Qatar and there are numerous religious holidays to reflect this. Islamic influence can be seen throughout Qatari society and is evident in clothing, eating and drinking practices.
In line with these goals,
In line with these goals, the Research Branch is tasked to deliver a hospital-wide Precision Medicine Program for Sidra Medicine, built upon the philosophy that research technologies and innovation should play a prominent role in every patient’s journey. Strategically, this Program is designed to integrate research into clinical workflows across three pillars:
-
1.
Research for every patient – developing protocols that allow every patient access to cutting-edge research studies via informed consent
-
2.
Advanced Diagnostics – leveraging next-generation research technologies (e.g., genome sequencing) to dissect diseases and identify their causes at an ultra-high resolution, beyond the limits currently available as standard-of-care
-
3.
Personalized Therapy – Establishing infrastructure and systems to deliver advanced therapies (e.g., stem cells and gene therapy) and support a culture of clinical trials at Sidra Medicine
These strategic pillars require close collaboration, trust and interactions between patients, trainees, physicians, and researchers to advance care at Sidra Medicine. Such a multidisciplinary approach reinforces how education, research and clinical care merge and can become part of every patient’s journey with us; ensuring that discoveries made from patients go towards improving their very own care, delivering personalized medicine to all.
Our common goal is to become a key differentiator, setting Sidra Medicine apart from its peers in the local, regional and international context, and positioning Sidra Medicine as a unique Academic Medical Center serving patients from Qatar and abroad.
