Allocation Assist places internationally trained doctors in Doha hospitals, from Hamad Medical Corporation to Sidra Medicine in Education City, and runs your QCHP licence alongside the job search. Doctor salaries in Doha are tax-free, and our doctor placement support is free to you because the hiring hospital pays the fee.
Doha holds almost all of Qatar's hospitals, so for most doctors moving to Qatar, the job is in Doha. The city brings together Hamad Medical Corporation's public network, Sidra Medicine in Education City, Aspetar and a group of private hospitals, which gives you the country's full range of employers within one city.
Your licence is national, issued by the Department of Healthcare Professions, so the QCHP licence you hold for a Doha hospital is the same one used anywhere in Qatar. The national rules, exam and fees are set out on medical job consultancy in Qatar.
Doctors in Doha earn tax-free salaries in Qatari riyals, set by employer, grade and specialty, with consultants at the top of the range. Qatar publishes no pay scale for expatriate doctors, so the package matters as much as the base salary.
Doha offers are paid in QAR and free of income tax. In US dollars, common monthly offers work out as follows:
| Monthly offer (QAR), tax-free | Approx. per month (US$) | Approx. per year (US$) |
|---|---|---|
| 30,000 | $8,242 | $98,901 |
| 40,000 | $10,989 | $131,868 |
| 60,000 | $16,484 | $197,802 |
| 90,000 | $24,725 | $296,703 |
These are example offers at the fixed rate of QAR 3.64 to the US dollar, not salary bands. Specialty pay is broken down in doctor salary in Qatar.
Hamad Medical Corporation is the largest employer of international doctors in Doha, and Sidra Medicine, Aspetar and the private hospitals hire consultants and specialists across most fields:
The city's facilities are profiled in Qatar hospitals for doctors, and open roles are on our doctor job listings.
Doha is a safe, compact and family-friendly city with a large international community, and most doctors settle quickly. English is widely used in hospitals and daily life, and the city has established expatriate districts, international schools and Education City as its hub for medicine and universities.
Hamad Medical Corporation's package includes a housing allowance, children's education support and an annual ticket home, which covers much of the cost of settling in. Districts are compared in best places to live in Qatar, and schooling in international schools in Qatar.
You get licensed for a Doha hospital through DHP, in the same order used across Qatar:
Primary source verification through an approved provider such as DataFlow, started before evaluation.
DHP reviews a complete file within 25 working days, for a fee of QR 100.
A Prometric test of 150 questions over three hours. Under DHP Circular 2025/24, exemptions are listed only for Qataris, children of Qatari women and Qatar graduates.
DHP reviews the licensing application within 15 working days, and the licence activates once you arrive with a residency permit.
Each stage is covered in how to get a QCHP licence in Qatar.
Our doctor placement in Doha runs your licence and your job search together, at no cost to you. We start your verification early, prepare your DHP file, put your CV to Doha hospitals while it runs, and stay with you through interview, offer, contract and relocation. The hiring hospital pays the placement fee, and you pay only the official DHP, verification and exam fees.
We have worked in Gulf medical licensing and careers consultancy since 2015, with a team of 28 and partnerships across 80+ hospitals. Doctors describe their moves in our doctor interviews and testimonials.
