What Xena is trying to point out, is that there is no central database with your records filed in the state of Qatar. It's all okay if you have records filed withing one hospital and you get treated a second time within the same hospital. What she is poin ting out is a lack of communication between clinics and hospitals in general.

Say a person gets treated for a condition by Doha Clinic. He then feels worse and decides to get a second opinion, at American hospital. Then two days later he faints in the supermarket and gets rushed to Hamad hospital on a gurney. .............. Now that's where the problems begin. No central database to check on patient history, which could assist in getting an accurate diagnosis and ultimately save a life.

I agree with Xena. Private hospitals and the government institutions should go via a central database. Just like National Health Service.

The sad thing is that everything here is complicated by bureaucratic red tape; so it's never going to happen.

Hope you feel better soon Xena. :) xx
