about residence if you don't have medical insurance yet you can make the government insurance Hamad Hospital&it's good,i was following up during pregnancy as it's not covered in medical insurance 1st year&they gave me everything vitamins,labor&follow up but appointments take long time till they give you an appointment except this they are great even i know an engineer who came here for visit visa to do a work and then go back home and during his visit he was very sick and they made an operation for him when he went to the emergency ...this is all i know but you won't be able to go to private Dr. alone it will coast you too much .
