Hey Bilroth. My wife and I recently moved to Doha from US. The Reponses you got are correct in stating that the state medical facilities (Hamad Hospital) are excellent. However we've found that it is sometimes difficult to get an appointment. Hamad Hospital is essentially available to everyone in Doha and it is heavily subsidized by the government so you can imagine how high the demand for services is. If your employer is a US firm you may want to check if they offer international healthcare coverage. This will allow you to seek care in the private sector and then get reimbursed for your expenses. The most commonly accepted insurance carriers in Doha are Cigna and Bupa International. I’m sure there are others. Hope this helps.
