Alfardan Group has announced to enter into the healthcare sector with the launch of ‘Alfardan Medical with Northwestern Medicine’ (AMNM). The premier family-owned conglomerate has joined hands with the Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine to establish the world-class healthcare facility in Lusail, which is set to begin operation by September this year.
Alfardan Group unveiled the new project at a press conference held at Northwestern University in Qatar, which was attended by a representative of Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health, special guests and others.
The upcoming AMNM healthcare facility will be located at Burj Alfardan in Lusail, and will occupy 11,000sqm over six dedicated floors. The clinic’s medical staff and clinicians will be a specialised team of multinational professionals including many from the US. The new and valuable addition to the private healthcare in Qatar will compliment Qatar’s position in the field of medical tourism in the region.
The high-end medical centre will offer patients a wide variety of ambulatory care services– a first-of-its-kind in Qatar. This is Alfardan Group’s first investment in the health sector, which is in line with the country’s long-tern vision.
Experienced, high-caliber physicians will provide the best levels of healthcare at the ambulatory care center in various medical specialties, including ear, nose and throat (ENT), dentistry, dermatology, gastroenterology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, orthopedics, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, reproductive endocrinology/embryology, physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), sleep medicine and executive health.
Northwestern Medicine is one of the United States’ premier academic health systems, anchored by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, one of the top ranked hospitals in the US. The Northwestern Medicine health system is affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, ranked as one of the best research-oriented medical schools.
Omar Hussain Alfardan, President & CEO of Alfardan Group, said: “Alfardan Group has built its reputation on offering their clients a lifestyle in keeping with the quality, luxury, and premium services that they value.
A sustained focus on meeting those needs and aspirations has seen the company reach tremendous heights of success in business.”
Alfardan added: “With the opening of Alfardan Medical with Northwestern Medicine, our ambition is to enhance Qatar’s medical system and reach global standards in healthcare. We are capable of delivering the most advanced integrated healthcare by leveraging our strengths in this venture, Northwestern Medicine, and their expertise in medical services, combined with the Alfardan Group’s renowned capacity for service excellence. I am confident that these merits will truly differentiate Alfardan Medical with Northwestern Medicine as a premier healthcare provider.”
Alfardan Group carried out a rigorous assessment of health care systems with the appropriate medical expertise and reputation prior to selecting Northwestern Medicine to provide the guidance, oversight and advice for both the construction and operation of the new facility.
“Northwestern Medicine is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to patients that is informed by breakthrough research. We are pleased to have the opportunity to assist Alfardan Group in its new project to bring world-class care to Qatar,” said Dean M Harrison, President and CEO, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. “With this collaboration with the Alfardan Group, we have the unique opportunity to extend our Patients First mission to the Qatari people.”
