Thalassemia management in Doha

(1/2) > >>

vampirebaby:
Hi all,

I live in Melbourne and Ive recently received a job offer in Doha, Qatar. I have a 6 year old daughter with thalassemia major. Before we can make any decisions about whether to accept or not, I need to know if anyone with Thal in this forum is managed in Doha?

I havent had much luck finding a transfusion centre in Doha on the internet. Also, is desferal available there? What are the costs involved in getting a transfusion there?

Help will be majorly appreciated!!

Thanks alot
Sameet

I'm checking into this. It turns out that an old friend from Maldives has been teaching at Qatar University. I have messaged him on Facebook and will reply once I get some information.

Hi,
I found several research papers on thalassemia from Hamad General Hospital online. Also found they do have pediatric hem/onc doctor.
Maybe contact them and ask?

Thank you so much for your replies.

Andy Battaglia:
My friend supplied this information. He said treatment is very good in Qatar.


--- Quote ---In Qatar major Hospital is Hammad Medical Coperation, they have several hospitals in diffrent areas and under HMC they have blood bank. I am not sure of any thalassemia society here as such , but hematology department of HMC look after thalassemics in the country. Here the hospitals are CAP accredited and they have state of art facilities.
