By carol.grace •
heelllo! i am new in qatar, can anyone suggest a good pediatrician in the city preferably around hilal, bu hamour,mansoora!!i have the govt hospitals are not very relaible!! thankkss! happy new year everyone and have a healthy year ahead!!
Very good Hospital at cheapest rate.
Try once.
Yup charlepunt, go to a private clinic or to a health centre, if it's a viral infection or the seasonal flu, they will give you paracetamol, prospan, anti histamine and if the infection has been there for some time, then they will add a antibiotic to it. So it all depends upon what kind of treatment you are seeking.
By al sadd medical centre, are you referring to the ped emergency centre?
Forget about Al Ahli Hospital!!! They charge QR500 only for consultation and the doctors are useless!!! I live here 7years and have 3 kids raised in Qatar, and i promise you, Al Ahli is NOT the way to go. There is a good doctor, a female right behind the Aramex office close to Decoration RB. I think its family medical centre. Then there is Future medical Centre opposite Villagio, i went there twice with my youngest, was ok, not Super keen with their treatment.
It depends why you need to see a doctor. If your child just have a normal cold, Al SAAD medical Centre is Great! I dont have good experiance with any other gov. clinic, but can take my hat off for the Al SAAD branch! I know by experience and have many friends that will sware by them. If your child just have a regular cough, due to the change in weather its likely due to an alergiec reaction to the dust in the air, they will prescribe you with antihestamine = Zyrtec and then a very good and herbal cough syrup = Prospan, these two are all you need every time you kid passed through a viral flu. welcome and good luck. Hope my info help.
Hi carol, it appears from your post that you have not been to a govt hospital, then it's a bit presumptuous to state that govt hospitals are unreliable. It all depends upon the kind of treatment your looking for.
There is a pediatrician in al shefa poly clinic in hilal area, who is good. I have also visited the doctor in Medcare centre, in hilal, but was not quite satisfied.
Take care.
Try looking at Al Ahli hospital. They got goood doctors. But I hope you have enough budget or an insurance card holder.
Carol,
Look if you have quite enough budget / insurance Check Dr. Attiya in Al Ahli Hospital,. You required to get appointment because this doctor have a long quee.
