Easy Ways to Look for the Best Hospital in Qatar

If you have just moved to Qatar, or have not paid much attention to the healthcare system, it helps to know all about hospitals and the best doctors in Qatar, in case you may need them at some point.

One of the easiest ways to look for the best hospital in Qatar is to look up the yellow pages online. The listings give you a comprehensive idea of all kinds of healthcare services in the country.

There is the Hamad Medical Corporation, which has some hospitals under its jurisdiction, apart from the Primary Health Care Corporation, which has centres for healthcare at several locations. There are several other well-known private hospitals also in Qatar.

Read reviews, do your research

Once you have some sort of a rough list, you should go through the reviews of hospitals and doctors online so you get a fair idea of which doctor is reliable and has a great reputation. You can also check out the specialisation and profiles of individual doctors online so you get an idea of whether you want to approach them or not. Another way to easily find the best doctors in Qataris to go to the online yellow page listings, use the right keyword and category – using the appropriate filter narrows down your search and provides quicker results.

Say you are looking for a doctor who specialises in paediatric dentistry. The best way to check is to actually type the specialisation. You can also search by location—it is a filter that provides you quick answers, and you don’t have to browse through the whole list of doctors/clinics/hospitals in Qatar.

Once you get the results, you can view the hospital website and also call the healthcare centre as numbers are provided alongside the search results. Often, a description of services available at a healthcare centre is also available under the yellow pages listing, making it easy for you to get an idea of the hospital.

So, how do you decide which/who are the best hospitals and doctors?

• One way, as we already mentioned, is to read a lot of testimonials and reviews.

• Sometimes, the best hospital and doctor could be simply the one that is nearest to your home or office.

• In case of a major health issue or a surgery, you can ask your own primary/general healthcare doctor to suggest specialists/surgeons.

• You could also find out from friends/acquaintances or relatives for both hospital and doctor recommendations.

• A good hospital should be equipped with the best infrastructure, have comfortable wards and lab facilities. Check out the website of the hospital to see what kind of facilities they have. Also, make a visit to find out more.

• The best doctors in Qatar are those who have a lot of experience, and especially those who can treat the specific problem you have. Also, pick a doctor you feel most comfortable with, and build a rapport with him/her so it helps you over the long-term.
