Visitors to be charged for parking after 3 hours

Hamad Medical Corporation will introduce a new parking system on its Hamad Bin Khalifa Medical City campus as part of its plan to ensure patients and visitors have safe and fast access to parking spots.

The new policy means that from Thursday 1 April 2021 patients and visitors will have access to three hours of free parking at all hospitals and facilities within Hamad Bin Khalifa Medical City.

HMC’s Chief of Healthcare Facilities and Acting Chief of Business Services Mr. Hamad Al Khalifa said as the facilities and services offered by the Corporation continue to grow, so does the need to ensure safe and convenient parking for patients and visitors.

After the first three hours, patients and visitors will be charged QR15 for one additional hour and then QR5 per hour thereafter. The maximum charge per day is QR70. Special exemptions will be given to patients undergoing chemotherapy and dialysis.

When a patient or visitor enters a paid parking zone, they will collect a ticket from the machine at the entrance to the parking facility. When they leave, they must visit one of the conveniently located machines to validate and, where applicable, pay the fee.
