Hi I am a British expat living and working in Doha for 12 years and we have always had our local health card costing Qr 100 . People are spoilt here with having private insurance and don't know how good the local services are.
Why pay for a private clinic.? All they are interested in is making profit.
Go to the government run clinics and everything is subsidised by the government here.
Money is no object! You get the best.
I have had two major operations done here in Hamad hospital.
I have been going to a local clinic for 12 years and had excellent care.
They refer you straight to a specialist if they suspect anything wrong.
I have had in the last month a colonoscopy, and endoscopy , seen a heart specialist and had a complete medical to check there is nothing going on that could cause future problems. All because I am over 50 and these checks can save lives in the future.
Excellent care here.
This would never happen in the UK. You would be on a wait list for a year at least to just see one specialist and have one procedure.
Each procedure , done under sedation only cost me Qr75 .
For a paltry sum of Qr100 I recommend the health care in Qatar.
Of course you wait a little when you go for your check up. Not like the private hospitals, but for the standard of care here it's well worth it.
