Al Wakra Hospital, part of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), has been awarded the highest level of recognition by the U.S.-based Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) for its commitment to age-friendly healthcare.

The hospital has achieved the prestigious Level 2 “Committed to Care Excellence for Older Adults” designation, a significant advancement from its previous Level 1 “Participant” status received earlier this year. This recognition reflects the hospital’s dedication to enhancing the quality of care for patients aged 60 and above.

By reaching this milestone, Al Wakra Hospital joins Rumailah Hospital as one of HMC’s leading facilities in implementing the best international practices in age-friendly care. The Level 2 status signifies that the hospital has successfully embedded evidence-based approaches to ensure older adults receive safe, personalized, and high-quality medical services.

This achievement underscores HMC’s broader efforts to elevate healthcare standards across its network, particularly in meeting the needs of Qatar’s aging population.
