What emergency contact numbers should I be aware of in Qatar?

When traveling to Qatar, it's essential to be aware of the emergency contact numbers to ensure your safety and well-being. Understanding these numbers can provide peace of mind and quick access to assistance in case of emergencies. Here are the key emergency contact numbers you should be aware of in Qatar:

Emergency Services

Police: The emergency police number in Qatar is 999. This number should be dialed in situations requiring immediate police assistance, such as accidents, theft, or any criminal activity.
Ambulance: For medical emergencies, including accidents or sudden illnesses, dial 999 to request an ambulance. Trained medical professionals will respond promptly to provide medical assistance and transport to the nearest hospital.

Fire Department

In the event of a fire or any other fire-related emergency, dial 999 to contact the Qatar Fire Department. They are equipped to handle various types of emergencies, including building fires, vehicle fires, and rescue operations.

Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC)

Hamad Medical Corporation is the primary healthcare provider in Qatar. While not an emergency contact number per se, it's beneficial to have their general contact information handy in case you require medical assistance outside of emergencies. Their hotline number is 16000.

It's advisable to save these emergency contact numbers in your phone and ensure that you and your travel companions are familiar with them before embarking on your trip to Qatar. Also, we always advise international travelers should buy Travel Insurance when applying for a Qatar visa to avoid unexpected situations such as lost baggage, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
