How do expats apply for new health cards today? heard there is a change in law regarding this.. And where do we go to apply? Can we be treated at any Health center during illness after we get the card?

Take the documents as stated above.

Go to the HC of your locality. Please note that some Healthcentres are not taking residents anymore. The Health Centre will inform you where you should go, or there will be a roll up near the reception desk,informing you of the health centre you should visit.

Register at the health centre.They will write a number on your form.

Then you either go to Hamad Hospital, and other desginated health centres authorised to take payment for the health card, and the card is issued at the same time.

You can pay in cash.

Once u get the card, you can be treated only in the registered health centre during week days, and on weekends you can go to the other HC if open. You can also visit HMC with this card.

You should go to the nearest health centre and apply for your health card. You should have your Passport copy, ID copy and the Water and Electricity Bill for it. WE Bill is required to verify if you are belonging to that health centre. You will be treated only in that health centre on regular days and if that health centre is not working on Friday/Saturday then you can go to other health centres which are working.
