Can any one avail the Hamad Health Services (Primary Health Care and Hospitalization) who is on Visit Visa (extendable upto six months)? If not what would be the ideal alternative to treat any illness? (Cheap and reliable). Please advice.

Best is to visit any private poly clinic near your place.

Best is to bring any regular used medication in order to last 6 months...Medicines are very expensive here ...and any antibiotic is NOT sold over the counter.. yu must have Doctor prescription...A simple visit to Doctors is not costly in terms of fees...but if you require some serious hospitalization then..return to your country....

Yes, you can with nominal charges, if u are visiting health centre then u need to pay 30QR which will be valid for 2 weeks. and regarding hamad hospital and hospitalisation also u need to pay nominal fees.

The straight answer is ¨NO YOU CAN NOT¨. The health care system is entirely for those having RP.
