“Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners presents to you its compliments”.

The Registration Department in QCHP is pleased to announce the adoption of new and effective initiatives to reduce the timeframe required to issue medical licenses, as well as a number of other procedures which will help achieve this strategic objective for QCHP, and will reflect positively on healthcare practitioners, stakeholders and encourage investment in the health sector. These initiatives were as follows:

  • Adopting the Institutional Privileges Policy which will allow healthcare institutions to grant medical/surgical privileges to their specialist/consultant physicians. Healthcare institutions will be able to apply to be granted this privilege and qualified institutions according to the policy criteria will be given an approval that is valid for three years and can be renewed with a new request later on (details of the policy will be published later).
