Healthcare Consultant · Doha, Qatar

Navigating healthcare in Qatar. For individuals and for organisations.

Two decades working inside Qatar's health system, across clinical operations, insurance, corporate wellness, occupational health and regulatory affairs. I work with individuals navigating health decisions: clarity on insurance, wellness, fitness medicals or simply knowing where to go. And with organisations that want structured, measurable health programmes for their people.

Invest in your health

  • Commit a fixed monthly amount toward healthcare. Unused balance earns a 20% annual bonus, rewarding those who stay well and plan ahead rather than spending reactively.
  • A monthly health investment for your workforce: the company pays a fixed amount, services are mapped at special rates for enrolled members, and any unused balance earns a 5% monthly credit. At year end, excess funds can be withdrawn or rolled over.

How I work

Practical, grounded, Qatar-specific

A few things that tend to matter to people before they reach out.

Grounded in Qatar's context
Qatar is a unique country with its own character, and its healthcare system reflects that. The guidance here draws on two decades of working through every phase of the sector's growth, building an understanding that is genuinely local.
Operational perspective
Running a medical centre day-to-day shapes how I think about what is practical. Recommendations stay close to what can actually be implemented.
Connected to services
Through WELLKINS, advice can connect directly to clinical, administrative or wellness services, reducing the gap between guidance and action.
One point of contact
Clinical, insurance, occupational health, admin, wellness. Questions that cross domains can be addressed in a single conversation rather than pieced together from multiple sources.
