Emergency Response Team - Hamad Hospital

Snowstorm
By Snowstorm

I guess you all are aware of the new airlift services introduced by Hamad Hospital. they are indeed doing a wonderful job. I saw them twice in Salwa Industrial area, attending road accidents.

Luckily i could get a video yesterday as i was driving back home. I have uploaded the video to youtube if any of you wanna watch.

You can't actually see the guy involved in the haz as no one was given access except the cops and the emergency team.. They were there foralmost an hour so i guess the accident was pretty serious...... 

Excellent service by Hamad Hospital!

Cheers

Its true there should be closer medical care at Sealine given the accidents there if you have someone seriously hurt they won't let them enter Sealine either. Qatar needs lots of changes, I think in time they will make things better at least lets hope so. But I understand their is a new hospital in that area but not as close as Sealine.

in this area, this is great. BTW, Hamad should install an emergency first-aid cabin in Sealine area, with all that sand dunes activities out there, who knows when an accident could occur? If there is already a clinic or emergency cabin there, then they should mark it to be very visible to all. Just a suggestion....

Met some of the Aussies and Americans training the crews.  They say that there were eventually be night-flight capabilities but that there aren't enough crews trained to that competence level yet-another year or so apparently.  Have heard good things said about the crews and medics by their trainers.

I think it is not a Hamad hospital initiative

I heard it is the National Health Authority who funds this service.

This is just one of the several helicopters our dept(EMS) is trying to launch. Soon you will see several of these flying in our skies. Just keep your patience and fingers crossed because we in EMS dept have no time to rest and everyday including night are battling the  now congested roads of Doha  trying to improve our services for you.

The problem with the Hamad Emergency section is its far toooooooo small for the population and they can't triage.  I went in with 3 broken ribs possible ruptured spleen and in shock and I was put in the cut and scrape room for 2 hours.  I told them I could not breath and I knew my ribs were broken but unless you cry and scream they ignore you so get your lungs prepared those that scream the loudest get cared for.  They need a much bigger unit for just trauma a secured area without the public milling in the halls.  I wish they took medical care as seriously as education then we would be in great shape.  They have way too many patients and too few drs. and staff.

At least sending the patient to the hospital as fast as possible can be the difference between life and death.. however, once the patient is in the hospital, treatment is another matter... how are the quality of the doctors there nowadays? Any comments on that?

its good that hamad hospital has launced the air ambulance serivce BUT there are some drawback too

 

1. it is one of a kind without tail rotor which makes it an expensive aircraft (not our issue....but have to mention facts)

2. it can carry 1 casuality at a time.

3.  it cant fly more than an hour

4. it does'nt have night flying capabilities

5. neither does the crew fly at night....

for night purpose airforce crew are called (which happens very rarely) which have have bigger aircraft which can fly anytime, have more flying endurance and can carry more than 10 persons, they have night capabilities and have experieced crew than that of hamad

I couldn't agree with you more, good for them! In the UK, the Air Ambulance Service is funded by charity, if you have an accident at the end of the month when the money is gone, they can't attend unless exceptional circumstances. We are so lucky to live here with this fantastic health service
