Sorry Max48 but you will not find any hospital in Qatar that will stand up to the standard of "best practice" healthcare that you would be used to at home. I am not saying that there are no good practictioners anywhere but they would be hard to find. HMC is the worst run hospital I have come across in 22 years of hospital work. 99% of mistakes (serious ones at that) are hidden and the quality of a lot of the staff makes you want to hit your head against the wall. The private hospitals I have not had a lot to do with, but seriously doubt they are that much better. The "American" hospital is not run by Americans and is in a building not purpose built to be a hospital. Al Ahli has been through at least 2 sets of management teams that have left in absolute frustration. The sports hospital is not yet open, have some good staff but they can't seem to get that off the ground either, very little direction. I have used the "medical facilities" here 4 times in 2 years for my family of 4. In other words, only when I absolutely had to. So mate, I suggest that you stay healthy.
