HMC has established a number of community-based facilities, including
Enaya Community Care Center in Muaither, as part of a commitment to
expand our community based mental health services.
The Enaya
Continuing Care Center in Muaither is a referral based center that will
provide patients with a “home-like” setting that is an alternative to
hospital-based treatments. It is the first in what is expected to be a
network of similar centers that will launch in Qatar to help residents
with mental health issues.
The center provides a range of outpatient services for children and teenagers up to the age of 18 years old, in addition to a daycare program for women who have long-term mental health issues. There’s also a residential service for women who have complex mental needs that require support but are not acute.
A team of specialists in community mental health care will
also undertake follow-up home visits for adults who have had mental
health issues, while a similar support program designed for the elderly
will provide a variety of medical therapies in their homes.
A
second community service has been established in Al Wakra and operates
from Al Wakra Hospital. This service will continue to develop and serve
people from the South of the country.
