you have nothing to fear with hamad al khor! we used to live in al khor when i was pregnant and had my checkups there. no long que is one very good aspect. it's also very clean and staff are accomodating. when i was hospitalized due to premature contractions would you believe that i had six nurses looking after me? that's because they didn't have other patients! i was also alone in the 2-bed hospital room! and a senior ob-gyne consultant is also now in al khor, dr. sharara. so obviously al khor hospital is very good...i hope this helps.
