Is employee medical cover compulsory in Qatar
Hi All
I will be moving to Qatar from Dubai shortly and have a quick query.
I currently do not receive medical cover as its not legally compulsory to provide it in Dubai so i have to pay for my own cover. However i am moving to Qatar within the same company and have heard that companies in Qatar have to provide this for all employees. I know this law applies in Abu Dhabi also.
Can anybody confirm this.
Thank you
Regards
The above said is perfectly right, its not compulsory but if ur Co. covers medical nothing better than that.
Not compulsory yet, maybe in the Future! They only pay QR100 per year for your Health Card for local Hospital and clinics!
Companies here in Qatar is providing health card but not all,you can apply for your own health card if you want.
