Doha, Qatar: Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI) has been awarded international accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), marking a ground-breaking achievement with QRI becoming the first HMC facility to achieve this prestigious rehabilitation accreditation.

It confirms that the people of Qatar have access to world-class rehabilitation services, delivered by dedicated professionals in a facility that meets the highest global standards. This milestone reflects our commitment to providing the very best care for our population.”

It also seamlessly aligns with Qatar's Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030, under which HMC is committed to adopting the latest medical technologies and providing advanced healthcare that significantly improves the lives of patients.
