Team Medical

We had a fantastic experience when we went for our health checks as part of getting our work permits. Steve had organised for us to go on Thursday morning and had warned us that it would take several hours for the process. We arrived at 7.30am and had to wait for Steve to turn up with the paperwork and our passports. The building is segregated so we stood in the middle. We were approached by a Qatari gentleman whom I greeted. He wanted to know who we worked for and why we were waiting. Steve turned up as we conversed with him. He told us to follow him. It turned out that he was the Director General at the commission and so he took us and organised for us to have our examinations. These were completed in 15 minutes. Steve had left us as he thought it would be hours before we would be finished. He couldn't believe it when we rang. We were invited into his office to share coffee while our blood test results were processed. The commission handles approximately 2500 people per day and is testing the equivalent of half the entire resident population of the country each year. He was a fascinating man who was genuinely helpful. He was also very proud of his organisation and what they were achieving. We were very privileged to get such an insight
