Qatar is not only an idyllic place for skilled laborers, engineers, and marketing professionals. It’s also a good place for job seekers with a background in the healthcare and medical field.
The Gulf state offers healthcare professionals a myriad of exciting opportunities. From career growth to the working environment, and employee benefits—they can expect some perks.
Expatriates, in particular, will get to embrace these awesome perks while embarking on a new journey of living and working in the Middle Eastern region.
Enjoy employee benefits
Perhaps the best thing about working as a health professional in Qatar is that there are ample employee benefits. Anyone can enjoy a good income. And take note… it is tax-free! Locals or expatriates working in the healthcare industry can take full delight in their salaries without any deduction.
Not only that, there is enough number of paid leaves—annual leave, sick leave, and other vacation days. Not to mention accommodation allowance, annual air tickets to your home country, and transportation allowance.
There are also some healthcare service providers that offer support with the licensing process for nurses, and a preceptorship program to help one understand and adjust to the new environment.
Plenty of career opportunities
Qatar has strong advocacy for developing private sector services. To support this goal, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Qatar’s premier healthcare provider, developed a master plan that aims at building a number of new hospitals, clinics and research facilities.
There is also a plan for investing more than QR 4 billion to build and equip hospitals and medical cities. This means that a lot of job opportunities await for healthcare professionals—like you!
State-of-the-art facilities
The hospital setting allows medical and healthcare practitioners to practice their profession in a world class environment. With state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology readily available in the hospitals, there is a higher capacity to handle a large number of patients in some of the most advanced and efficient medical environments.
Connect with fellow health workers
What is also convenient about working in the nation’s healthcare companies is that there are a vast number of English-speaking people. This makes it easier to connect with fellow medical staff members despite the cultural diversity.
Unwind while working
Who wouldn’t want to work in a facility that is beautiful and is not short of spaces to unwind? In Qatar, almost all hospitals are furnished with accommodations that are close to hotel standards. That is why health workers can easily find a relaxing spot when feeling burned out.
