We actually timed it right with Al Ahli, it was just bfore 9am and they were pretty quiet, so we were seen straight away, doctors and staff spoke pretty good english which helped, the cost was $500 riyals approx. We actually have an appointment there tomorow so ill swing by the pharmacy and inq about the formula, if im succesful ill let you know! thanks 4 your help

most pharmacies would have a stock of the baby formula that they would sell, i am not sure i have seen the brand you have mentioned, and yes the pharmacists would be able to help, if not, best would be to consult with a pedeatrician and ask for his/her advice, since you have spoken of very highly about al ahli, there is a pedeatrician spoken of very highly in qatar living forum, dr attiya, she cud help you.if it helps, the womens hospital uses similac for their babies, and so do i.i tried others and then had to use similac for my daughter.

what is the fees like at al ahli, and do u have to wait long to see a doctor.

Dear Kiwimum,

I have got the same problem, the easiest way is to ask a Pharmacist there is one in the City Center he is gentle and cooperative and can help you find a replica for your baby formula milk

Best Regards,
