This is not a legal requirement if yo have the medical insurance and you can avail treatment in some private clinic.But if you want to avail treatment from Hamad Hospital then its better to have it because it may save you a lot of money otherwise you may have to pay some extra money for your medicines.Its cost is only 100 QR.Just go to one of the nearest government hospital/clinic with your Qatari ID,your passport & Visa copy and 02 fotos,get your file opened and then they will guide you to some Hamad hospital for the Card.Its simple and cheap so better to get it so that in case of emergency or problems or some times your private clinic also may refer you to one of the consultants in Hamad Hospital.

it does not matter if you have insurance or not.

To get the Hamad hospital health card, it requires valid Qatari ID and ID copy, passport copy, personal photo - passport size - and a QR. 100.

in all employee contracts it is mentioned that the sponsor is responsible for providing health care to all employees, this is by the Qatari Labour law.
