If you go and collect a temporary health card from nearest health centre , every thing should be free except , I think they have charged 30 qrs for ultra sound scan. Lab, medicine and consultations are absolutely free.

Go to the Nearest Public Health Centre and apply for a Temporary Health Card (do ask the reception for a Health card for your wife, they will issue a temporary one after noticed the visa status) cost is Qrs 60, (submit a copy of your ID card, Wife Visa copy + Passport Copy)

They open a file in your wife's name and she can continue periodical check up their with with out any cost , including medicine and lab else they refer to Hamad, if they noticed any critical or complication .

arrived 3 weeks ago and have had an ultrasound done .... it cost me 200Qrs

The only thing is that im not getting a proper follow up in terms of blood tests and regular checks ... the next ultrasound will be at 24 weeks .....after that i need to ensure i choose the correct place to deliver our baby .... we can do so... its just finding out the best place and hope it wont cost a massive fortune.

good luck for you both ... i have been advised that the Ali hospital is very good ... i still need to go and see it.

khanan is right. she can go there and get regular check up's done. fees are slightly higher than for normal residents.

your wife can deliver here too..

charges will be QR 200/day for the time she stay in hospital.. (Rates as of September 2010)...

so is it allowed to go and consult while we are on tourist visa?

and regarding the delivery of the baby, shall we have it if we still we on visit visa?

the Government hospitals aka Hamad Hospital foe Women.

The fees are bit higher compare to the Resident.
