Qatar offers many opportunities for nurses, as they are currently experiencing a shortage due to the construction of their new centres of excellence. Qatar operates a national healthcare system, with private facilities available as well. English is the working language but proficieny in Arabic never goes astray. Arabic is required for mental health and some areas of paediatrics. Qatar remains a popular option for health professionals due to the excellent packages on offer.
Qatar is an affluent country home to many world class facilities. Qatar is safe, modern, and welcoming to expatriates from all corners of the world. The work week is Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday being your weekend. This is common to all gulf countries now, meaning a weekend exploring your neighbours is easy to organise. Warm throughout the year, it is the perfect climate to pursue outside interests all year round.
This is an exciting part of the world to live in, with development continuing at a great pace. You will have the opportunity to know a culture which offers a great level of hospitality, and is very welcoming to all who visit.
