On June 2026 to 2029, Al Wakra Hospital's (AWH) Urology Section has once again been recognized as a Center of Excellence for Kidney Stone Management (COEKSM) by the USA-based Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). This accreditation, which builds on their previous one in 2019, underscores the hospital's dedication to top-tier clinical care for kidney stone management. The Urology Section employs standardized protocols and maintains a specialized Stone Clinic that partners with the Dietetic and Nephrology departments as needed.
In addition to this prestigious accreditation, eight urologists from AWH have also earned the prestigious Surgeons of Excellence designation. Dr. Omar Mohd Al Qahtani, AWH's CEO and Medical Director, expressed pride in this achievement, highlighting it as evidence of the hospital's consistent delivery of exceptional patient care across Qatar. He emphasized that the re-accreditation is not only a reflection of clinical excellence but also a commitment to continuous improvement.
Dr. Khalid Al Rumaihi, Head of Urology at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) to which AWH belongs, echoed similar sentiments, stating that this re-accreditation further cements HMC's position as a regional leader in specialized urological care. The recognition of eight urologists as Surgeons of Excellence adds to the strength of the Urology teams across HMC, demonstrating the sector's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality.
