Living in HMC Compound - what's it like?
Hi All
We are currently living in Cardiff UK, my husband has been offered a senior management role with Hamad Medical Corporation. I am wondering what living in a company compound is like...
What kind of standards are the villas?
Is there a community feel?
What is there to do?
Thanks in advance for you help and comments!
I am also entitled for grade 113 ant HMC and am moving to Qatar next month. What accommodation would they provide ?
Hi,
It was nice to hear something good about HMC after so many negative comments out here.
Just wanted to ask, is it really worth working at HMC? I have been seletec at grade 106. I really donno if I have taken the right decision to takeup this offer.
Regards,
Sam
HI. My husband works for Hamad. We are living in a beautiful villa in a compound full of HMC staff. What is great is that all the husbands, and a couple of wives, work in the same department so they are all generally good friends. The facilities in our comound are limited (pool and gym only) however the social life makes up for it. What i do however, suggest is getting out and meeting other people when you arrive so that you have variety to your day. Contact me if you like. I have a 2 year old son who is always keen for play dates.
Best regards,

Some years ago many HMC senior staff were housed in two-story detached villas in Al Messila compound on the Rayyan Road. Some do still live there but I don't know whether villas are still allocated to new staff. The houses are good and, like most compounds here, the recreational facilities provided are quite good (social centre, swimming pool, tennis courts, etc). I am sure that you will be able to live comfortably here. However, if you have pets, make sure that the compound will permit them, some do not.
Yes I have of course checked the HMC website - it is a little dry, I was hoping for some personal perspective.
Thank you for your comment Kashoo. In his discussions with his new boss-to-be my husband has been told that he will have a villa in the compound [so I hope there is room for me! :-) ]
yes
yes
Dohaprice: do you really think the author never visited the HMC website before?!
They donot Provide Accomodation in Compound for Couples.
nly for pplz who are single here but if he bring you here then he will get Housing Allownce worth 5000QR if he is just a Nurse but if he is a DOC then more and he can find house anywhere he want..
Dont worry Depends on HIM he Choose a Compound or he request for CASH .
better to GET CASH coz house for 2 to 3 Rooms are just 4000QR Good Class home.
if you want XELENT HOUSE then just Start Adding money..
