Sidra Medicine is a private hospital for public benefit. For example, if there are no other pediatric
specialist services available in Qatar, and Sidra Medicine is the only provider, then medical services are
priced at a government approved co-funding rate.
The Sidra Medicine Children’s Emergency Department treats both emergency and urgent care cases.
Children are first triaged to assess whether the condition is an emergency or one that requires urgent
care. There is no cost to the patient for emergency care. However, if the child requires urgent care, then
parents have a choice to seek treatment at Sidra Medicine where they will be asked to pay for the
treatment of urgent conditions.
For details on payment rates for specific services, please contact Sidra Medicine directly.
