Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Public health stated that its strict oversight efforts to verify the qualifications and eligibility of health professionals seeking to work in Qatar's healthcare sector uncovered 83 individuals who submitted incorrect or misleading documents to obtain a license to practise in the country in 2022 and 2023.
These violations were detected before the individuals received their licenses, and they have been blacklisted, permanently barring them from working in Qatar's healthcare sector.
Dr Saad Al Kaabi, Director of the Healthcare Professions Department at the Ministry of Public Health, explained that most of the deceitful attempts involved falsifying experience documents, such as job titles, years of experience, or the size and classification of the institution where the professional had worked. Additionally, there were instances of forgery in academic qualifications from unreliable institutions and misleading results in qualifying examinations (Prometric).

He noted that the violations covered all categories and specialisations, including doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals.
Dr Al Kaabi emphasised that the Ministry employs a unified methodology rooted in fairness, objectivity, and transparency when investigating conduct that undermines the reputation of healthcare professionals and breaches the ethical standards of the profession.
He added,“A blacklist has also been compiled, including healthcare institutions that issue incorrect or misleading certificates to practitioners. Any certificate issued by these institutions is not accepted.”
Dr Al Kaabi also noted that all institutions and healthcare facilities that provided false experience documents are located outside of Qatar.
The Ministry of Public Health added that it is committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety in the healthcare services provided in the country.
