I find my children actually get sick less here in Doha. My husband's theory is that it's too hot for bugs to survive! I find the medical care quite adequate. If you do your homework, you can find UK or US trained doctors who are quite good. I LOVE how you can get a same day appointment and can be in and out in less than 20 minutes.

Dont worry by gods grace your childrens will be safe and free from health problems. Yes, childrens fall ill sometimes just because of the extreme temparature rise.

No need to worry, there are 24 Hour pharmacies in here, that can help you out, HamadGovt. child HOSPITAL in case of emergency cause works 24 hours/day.

You have many private clinics/hospitals too.

your children are up to date with all their vaccinations, including Hep A and B, Typhoid and Meningitis. Check the World Health Organisation recommendations for travel to Qatar.

Hamad Hospital, infection control offers flu vaccinations. Hay Fever is generally due to allergy and any other viruses can be dealt with in Qatar.
