Sidra launches paediatric private home visits service

Sidra Medicine, an affiliate of Qatar Foundation, has introduced a new paediatric private home visits programme. This service delivers routine paediatric care directly to children at home, eliminating the need for hospital visits. Families can now receive essential healthcare services without the hassle of going to a hospital, ensuring children continue to get expert care from Sidra Medicine’s specialist teams.

The programme covers a range of services, including wellness assessments, tracking growth and development, providing feeding guidance, and educating parents. All these services also encompass routine childhood immunisations. Each request is carefully reviewed by clinicians to confirm that home-based care is both safe and suitable for the child’s specific healthcare requirements.

Dr Ahmed al-Hammadi, chair of paediatrics at Sidra Medicine, highlighted the importance of routine wellness assessments and childhood vaccinations in promoting healthy development. He emphasized that the private home visits programme offers families enhanced flexibility while maintaining high-quality paediatric care in a secure and familiar setting.

The initiative underscores Sidra Medicine’s dedication to making routine paediatric healthcare more accessible without compromising on clinical safety, personalised care, or family-centred service.

The programme is open to eligible Sidra Medicine patients after a clinical evaluation. It is designed for routine care, not for emergency or urgent medical situations. Services are rendered based on clinical suitability and operational capacity. By launching this new programme, Sidra Medicine is further broadening its reach in paediatric care beyond traditional hospital settings.

This initiative supports uninterrupted continuity of care while giving families more freedom to manage their children’s routine healthcare needs conveniently.
