Hi there.

I wil be moving to Doha on the 4th of September. Where does one go to get chronic medication, and what is the process. Are the hospitals in Doha good?

Thanx very much for the advice. I will make sure to take my medication prior to arrival. When do they do the tests?. I will arrive on the 5th of Sept at 07h20.

Are you aware that every foreigner has to go through a medical check, before starting to work here in Doha?

I don't know, How that will affect you in gaining the working Visa.

Most of the medical focus is on TB, other infectious deceases and HIV, but they will take a close look at your Blood pressure too.

I'll advise you to bring your own prescription and try to keep it under the normal range with your regular daily dozes before arriving. The weather here is very hostile to anyone with Hypertension.

Good luck and welcome to Doha.

What kind of chronic sickness are you suffering from?

I could tell you what is available and what is not available.

Without the proper name of the med is going to be quiet impossible.
