Public Health Care
The State of Qatar provides national health coverage for all citizens and residents of Qatar, which they can access with a National Health Card. GU-Q assists international students in obtaining and/or renewing their National Health (Hamad) Card. You are responsible for providing a copy of your card upon your admission to the university. We recommend that all enrolled students obtain and carry their Qatar National Health Card at all times.
Health Care
In addition to public health system, there are private clinics, polyclinics, medical centers, and hospitals in Doha that provide outpatient and inpatient care. Many of these clinics require you to make an appointment, but some accept walk-ins. You may be able to use your supplementary private health insurance to assist with medical expenses. Please check with your insurance to inquire about your coverage.
