Medical
tourism in QatarAll private hospitals and medical institutions in Qatar have to
meet international standards in order to receive a renewal of license from the
government of Qatar. Medical treatments in Qatar are performed by expert
doctors and medical staff. Many Arabic countries have become unstable due to
the Arab Spring rebellion thus Qatar has become the gateway for many Arabs from
Saudi Arabia and Dubai wish to undergo cosmetic surgery and other
surgeries. Qatar robotic surgery has advanced within the years, doctors are
qualified to perform robotic surgeries with the latest technologies. Qatar has
been investing in medical tourism in recent years which makes medical tourism
in Qatar a very attractive destination to the surrounding countries.
Why Qatar?
The political unrest of many countries in
the Arab World has brought Qatar to be a favored destination for medical
treatments. Reduce costs of medical treatments and the fact that medical staff
is very knowledgeable and meets high standards is a good reason to travel to
Qatar. The government of Qatar has put the health issue on the top of their
priority list which means great achievements in all the fields of medicine. For
neighboring countries, arriving at Doha, the capital of Qatar is easy and
inexpensive. One can be hospitalized on the same day of arrival and have
surgery and rehabilitation in a couple of days. Out of nine hospitals in the
country, four are private hospitals with innovative technology and modern
facilities.
Healthcare system:
The standards of healthcare in Qatar are
excellent. All citizens, temporary residents, and tourists benefit from
healthcare treatments. The major public health institution is called HMC –
Hamed Medical Corporation. Qatar has extensive vaccinations for newborns as a
preventative healthcare scheme. Many medical institutions were set up in Qatar
to serve all the residents of the country. Qatar also doubled the number of
ambulances so that in case of emergency one can be assured to get on time to
the emergency ward. Doctors and all other medical staff speak English.
Procedures:
Cosmetic
surgeries in Qatar are increasing rapidly. Qataris can undergo cosmetic surgery
with no added costs; surgery is funded by the health fund scheme. Mostly women
but not only undergo nose jobs, facelifts, and breast augmentations. Bariatric
surgeries have also become popular like tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and
gastric band operations. Where once you could find Qataris performing cosmetic
surgeries only for medical purposes (such as deformity) nowadays Qataris want to
look like ‘in the movies’ and undergo extensive cosmetic surgeries.
The Qatar Robotic Surgery Center was
opened in 2010 and along with Hamed Medical Cooperation boasts innovative,
prominent experience in this field of medicine. This institution develops all
kinds of surgical methods in the world of surgery and has great success.
Tourism:
There are many indoor
and outdoor activities to do in Qatar. There are beautiful parks with green
areas, lovely sandy beaches, fishing tours, and water sports. Go to the Museum
of Islamic Art, to the marketplace where you can buy just about everything
with a good bargain. There’s a good aqua park. Eat at the markets (Souk in
Arabic), try the authentic food although you can find nearly every European
cuisine available in Doha. Safari tours in the desert are a must, it is a unique
experience. Don’t forget to visit the amazing shopping malls where you can find
everything you were looking for.
