(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The north end of Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital is now open.
The opening of the north end of Aspetar is part of the strategic plan of Aspire Zone Foundation to expand its facilities and offer a wider range of services.
The CEO of Aspire Zone, Khalid Abdulla Al Sulaiteen, opened the new facility. The opening ceremony was attended by Aspetar Acting Director General Dr Mohamed Ghaith Al Kuwari and national team footballer Ibrahim Majid, who was under treatment at Aspetar. A number of senior AZF staff and media personnel were also among those present during the ceremony.
The north end expansion features a semi-independent building comprising 18 outpatient clinics for offering therapeutic services to registered athletes.
Spanning an area of 5,000 square metres, the expansion represents a new and distinctive addition to Aspetar on three levels: medical, expertise and service.
Medically, the new clinics will break from tradition to treat sports injuries using innovative technologies for the first time in Qatar. These include the Platelet-rich plasma and Electromyography. On the expertise level, Aspetar will hire a new group of global, certified physicians and experts who specialise in the treatment of different sports injuries. At the service level, the expansion will almost double the capacity of Aspetar and help reduce the waiting time for athletic and non-athletics patients.
Speaking during the ceremony, Al Sulaiteen said: "We are proud of this new achievement, which represents a valuable addition to Aspire Zone in general and Aspetar in particular. We meet today to open the north end expansion of Aspetar as part of our comprehensive plan to develop and increase the medical and therapeutic services provided for athletes.
"As per AZF's vision of becoming the reference in sports excellence by 2022, and in light of Aspetar's strategic objectives and global prominence, the ongoing expansion and developments are important steps for us to take in order to meet our commitment to provide the best world-class medical and rehabilitation services for athletes.
"Our vision for the expansion and growth of AZF is not limited to modern facilities and equipment. We equally give greater attention to the unique international-standard expertise that we develop in Qatar and the region. This is the real investment and core value we seek to establish throughout our different plans, projects and programmes; all of which will bring AZF into global prominence as a leading and integrated sports city."
The north end expansion is part of Aspetar's comprehensive expansion plan, according to which the new buildings and surrounding spaces will extend on four sides.
