Sidra Medicine

Surespan, renowned for its expertise in creating bespoke access solutions, was privileged to contribute to the innovative healthcare infrastructure of Sidra Medicine in Doha, Qatar.

This facility, a 400-bed hospital dedicated to women and children, integrates clinical care, medical education, and biomedical research, under the aegis of the Qatar Foundation.

With its outpatient facility inaugurated in 2016 and the inpatient hospital commencing operations in January 2018, Sidra Medicine represents a cornerstone in the region’s healthcare and research sector.

A notable engineering contract, valued at $200 million, was awarded to Voltas, an Indian company, underscoring the project’s scale and importance. At full capacity, Sidra Medicine is expected to cater to over 275,000 patients annually, a testament to its pivotal role in the community.

In this context, Surespan’s role was critical in adding value to the hospital’s functional design and operational efficiency. We supplied a singular sliding roof hatch measuring 700 x 700mm. This custom-designed access solution was meticulously engineered to meet the specific needs of the hospital, ensuring safe and reliable access to roof areas for maintenance and emergency purposes.

The sliding roof hatch provided by Surespan exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, precision-engineered products tailored to the unique requirements of each project. Despite the scale of our contribution, the emphasis on quality, durability, and functionality remained paramount. Our sliding roof hatch was designed to integrate seamlessly with the hospital’s architectural aesthetics, while providing an essential function in the building’s overall maintenance and safety protocols.

This project highlights Surespan’s ability to work collaboratively within the scope of large-scale, high-profile developments, offering bespoke solutions that contribute to the project’s success. Our involvement in Sidra Medicine underscores our expertise in delivering specialised access products that combine aesthetic appeal with practical utility, reinforcing our status as a leader in the access solutions industry.
