All catastrophic care (like being run over by a bus) goes to the national system.
But for routine care (sports injuries, childhood infections, etc.) there is a huge difference between public in private--particularly in terms of friendliness, waiting times, time with the doctor, etc. Like most national health systems, the Qatar system is over-stretched and spends most of its time of patching up the serious cases rather than on routine preventative care.
