Doha: Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Mental Health Service (MHS) introduced a new Learning Disability Service (LDS) to provide specialist assessment and treatment options for adults with a Learning Disability (LD) presenting with a mental health condition, who exhibit severely challenging behaviour.
The specialist LD Service was piloted in early 2020 but due to COVID-19 restrictions regarding patient visits the service was enhanced in December 2020. The service has now been formally launched to support the expansion in mental health service provisions, with a new multidisciplinary team offering outpatients clinics, community outreach services and consultation liaison services with other health service provisions.
