Will there be enough competent staff for child birth on Hamad Hospital during the Eid holidays?

I'm due on Nov 11-14 (may give birth before or after this date). I am just worried if there will be enough competent medical professionals who can assists us in case of emergency caesarian operation. My first child was born thru CS although I am opting to deliver this one naturally, there is a chance of undergoing CS again.

Really worried , hope some who had experiences in Hamad or those who are working there can enlighten me. Thanks

my apologies if anyone is offended by the word "competent". I am not insinuating anything negative, it's just that seeing the number of pregnant women lately in the hospital with almost the same due date and my pregnancy case makes me worried. I hope its assurance you're giving me. Having had a traumatic childbirth experience, yes, I am afraid of what might happen this time (to which I hope will not like be the first one).

do you really need to ask competent staff? as if incompetent staffs will be on duty and those who are good at their jobs will be on vacation...I understand that this is only for you and your child's well being, but health care workers DO NOT TAKE HOLIDAYS, in times of emergency like flood, earthquake, fire and any disaster, they are on call wherever they are and whatever they are doing...perks of the job.
