In the entire GCC ,its only HMC has got JCI acredition,their facilities and services are good,ofcourse some feel be cause of language problem but for that they are doing a very good service for medical requirements.

Recently han19 also had written the response they got for customer care letter they had dropped.

I go to Dr. Mohamed at the "Name your own price clinic". I have found during my time here that the blood letting, leech treatments and incantations work very well for the medical maladies that I am afflicted with.

Qatar isn't Somalia. You can find good GPs, pediatricians, etc. You just have to pay.

Mistakes do happen but in 11 years here so far we've found the medical care we've had to seek more than adequate.

If you enjoy being a guinia pig then the health care is paradise. The reality is its incredibly poor, god forbid you have a big problem like a heart attack, one poor westerner it took the third heart problem before they realized the big one that nearly killed him. I had an arm casted so long after a elbow dislocation it would never move again without major surgery, the dr. handed me valium and told me it was in my head. Obvsioulsy he didn't have much in his head. They don't pay the dr's in Qatar enough money and they are overworked as well, if they are good dr's they can get a job anywhere in the world. Try to keep yourself healthy in Qatar and be very, very aggressive and not trusting with your health or for sure you will not live long.
