Hamad Medical Corporations & Women’s Health and Research Center has launched educational courses via the Internet on pregnancy and childbirth

This framework has been launched as a part of efforts to continue prenatal education services while maintaining measures taken to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in Qatar.

This initiative has been created by the patient education team and their family members at the center, where educational lectures presented in both Arabic and English are shared.

The online course features lectures for this category of women including topics in areas of prenatal, childbirth and postpartum, including care for newborns.

It’s aimed at groups of 10-15 participants of pregnant women who share the same conditions of pregnancy.

The program also includes an educational session that is presented to mothers after two weeks of birth and focuses on the postpartum period and provides support to new mothers.

Dr Hilal al-Rifai, Medical Director of the Center for Women’s Health and Research, said that although some measures had been taken to move patients away from medical facilities – such as a program of virtual educational courses on pregnancy and childbirth.

Some services could only be provided through the actual presence of patients in the hospital, stressing that the center takes all precautions and preventive measures to protect from exposure to the coronavirus infection.
