Supplier for Handicapped Supplies & Equipment
Hi,
I am in the urgent need of good shop that supplies equipment and
supplies for handicapped. I visited my self 3-4 stores but they are far
from professional !
Can anybody recommend a shop ?
One of the items that is most important are good adult sized diapers.
The ones from the pharmacy and shopping centers seam to be unsuitable.
Appenrently there are good ones available every now end then, but they
seam to go out of stock as soon as one single person covers their needs.
Is there anybody else that faced the same issue ?

hmmm why would you need to know my nationality ??
Noo I am not Qatarie :-).
The important thing we are looking for is adult sized diapers, size M, best for night time use, meaning high absorbency and that is where the ones you can find anywhere seam to make problems.
One other item on the list is foley catheters, CH 16, preferably from Bard or Rusch.
Most of the brands found in local market seam to be of some "lower" quality and cheeper price.

Hi , There is a pharmacy on the street opposite side of Al Ahli Hospital. They are specialised in all items for handicapped...you could try there....I dont remember the name of the pharmacy.
I knew that there is a shop in Ibn Omran street, opposite to Al Ahli hospital. This shop sells handicapped supplies but not sure if they have adult sized diapers. They are closing down in few weeks and they are making good discounts. the name öf the shop is "Arabic house" or something like this.
I was involved in a similar search last year with the result that brought the supplies in from abroad. Customs was a bit of a hassle, but they didn't even know what it was and why they were difficult about.
There is one supplier on Salwa, Al Dana Medical, but they are promising for about 6 month to get a shipment of "decent" products :-(.
Dubai will most probably be the easiest solution.
