MEDICAL ATTACHE

The State of Qatar is dedicated in extending all possible help and assistance to its citizens both within the country and abroad. Emanating from this approach the Government of the State of Qatar through its health system sends Qatari patients abroad for treatment of those acute cases for which no satisfactory medical treatment is presently available in Qatar.

In order to be able to serve our patients better, this office was created in 1996. It was really a milestone in our efforts to link the medical facilities of Qatar with the leading hospitals and medical research institutions of the United States. This office provides multiple services aiming at making the experience of the Qatari patients and their families a comfortable and pleasant one as far as possible in terms of providing the necessary care and attention, fulfilling their needs and creating a congenial atmosphere for them throughout their stay in America. Some of the services that this office provide are listed below:-

1. Medical coverage to Qatari patients sent by the Qatar Medical Board and the Diwan Al Amiri.
2. Medical coverage for emergency cases to all Qatari citizens.
3. Medical coverage to Qatari students in the United States as per respective rules and regulations.
4. Organizing crash courses for the staff of the Hamad Medical Corporation at US Medical Universities, leading hospitals and research institutions both in the medical and administrative fields.
5. Arranging visits to Qatar of leading US physicians and surgeons to provide consultations and perform surgical operations to patients in Qatar.
6. Forwarding medical reports of patients undergoing treatment in Qatar to doctors of high repute in the US for second opinion.
