Repost: How is the public health system?
Hi,
Is anyone out there relying only on the public health system in Doha?
What are your experiences?
Are you happy?
My husband and I are wondering if we need to purchase the private health insurance offered through my husband's employer, or if we are ok just with the public option.
Any thoughts on the matter?
Thank you!
In my opinion u should get the health insurance by pvt insurance provider, that would be safe, otherwise also public health system is okay as long as things goes well, but if u have to approach any doctor in hamad hospital then u need to wait for appointment which u may get after 20-25days and so on,
So to avoid that if u prefer to go for pvt clinis or hospitals, the cost will be very high, so better to opt for insurance.
