mimi you can apply for health card at hamad hospital, otherwise you can go to the nearest health center to your house (must be nearest) and apply there.

log on to hamad hospital website and know about documents required for applying.

Good luck

Yalla!

mimi37 yes you MUST have a health card, to have a health card you MUST have Qatar Resident Permit.

Good luck with the delivery wherever you decide to go x

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Do you need any kind of documentation to register at Hamad? I've heard about a health card?

I delivered 3 babies at Hamad - had complications with 2 out of the 3 - they were able to help immediately and solve the situations. The doctors are fantastic. The nurses...well, as they said above, over-worked and probably under-paid (I don't know) - the friendliness, care, and attentiveness were only seen in a select few.

agreed.. novita77. But it is not the hospitals that give the birth. they are just the medium. It is our faith in God that matters.

Al Ahli will treat you alot better .... service is off course better. Then again you pay alot of money for al ahli.

If money is no objection I would recommend al ahli hand down.

HMC is the best in Qatar to deal with any preganancy issues. Far more experienced & equipped than any other hospitals or clinics.

The service aint too bad too Stallion. Ofcourse, it will make a difference when you'l have to concerntrate on 1000's but lets put all these patients in Al-Ahli or AlEmadi, there u'l see them going crazy.

it's all about risk, i think the only hospital equiped with Neo-natal ICU is Hamad H, in case (God forbid) any problem happens to the baby, they have to take him in ambulance to Hamad.

weigh the risks and decide.

Yalla!

of course bad service compared to AlAhli and Alemadi

lets define service: nurse attending to all your needs and comfortable room...HMC nurses are not that helpful due to their patient-overload but they are far more experienced than the rest of hospitals

I highliy recommend HMC

they seem to be the only hospital with FULL readiness to any complications. a friend of mine his wife gave birth at Al-Ahli then immediatly they sent her on an ambulance to HMC as they did not know how to deal with some complications.

go for HMC...bad service I know but at least reliable diagnosis and treatment.
