I agree that the Hamad Women's hospital is excellent. Both our boys were born there; the second had to go into ICU for a week almost immediately after his birth and they were as good as if not better than any other hospitals I've come across worldwide. Another plus is that if the baby is in good health post-birth baby and mother are kept together in the room. You can get a private room too, for a price, although the wisdom of having fitted carpets in those rooms eludes me. It's a hospital after all.
