The Qatar business conglomerate, Alfardan Group, has ventured into the country’s private medical services sector with the joint launch of Alfardan Medical with Northwestern Medicine, the US healthcare group. They claim the move will compliment Qatar’s position in the field of medical tourism in the region.
Alfardan Medical and Northwestern Medicine (AMNM) will offer patients a wide variety of ambulatory care services later this year – a first-of-its-kind in Qatar. This is Alfardan Group’s first investment in the health sector, as part of its social responsibility towards the State of Qatar and its vision to develop projects that will contribute to the realization of the Qatar National Vision.
Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine is one of the US’ leading academic health systems, anchored by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, one of the top ranked hospitals in the United States. The Northwestern Medicine health system is affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Physicians will provide care 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.
Alfardan Group’s entry into the medical sector marks the opening of a new chapter in the Group’s success as one of Qatar’s pioneering business leaders for over 60 years, which has seen the Group grow to become one of the premier family-owned conglomerates for several business lines in the region.
