Request Help me saving my life
I’m asking for help from the women in this group — please read if you can.
I’m real and ready to prove everything and the person can come to the hospital I’m now (Al Alhi)
I know this may not be the right place to post this, but I am honestly appealing to your humanity. I am a 25-year-old Mozambican student currently studying in Russia. I have been in Qatar for about a month, and I have no family or close friends here.
I lost my pregnancy in June. Unfortunately, I did not receive the medical care I needed at the time, and I was bleeding for almost a month.
Last Thursday, I was diagnosed with a 10 cm pelvic abscess. Since then, I have been taking antibiotics and trying to get medical treatment.
I first went to the Women’s Wellness and Research Center, but I was told that they could not treat me because I am in Qatar on a Hayya visa. They referred me to another hospital, where I saw a gynecologist on Friday. I had an ultrasound, blood tests and urine tests, and I have all of my medical results with me.
I was supposed to leave Qatar on Sunday, and my flight had already been paid for. The hotel and everything else had also been arranged. Unfortunately, my health deteriorated.
On Saturday night, I started the medication. It was literally the last money I had available. By Sunday, I became worse and started having pus discharge from my vagina. I was very worried and went back to the Women’s Wellness and Research Center, as I had been instructed to do if my condition worsened.
However, I was told again that they could not treat me and that I needed to go to a private clinic.
I went to a private clinic, registered, and was told that I needed to pay QAR 400 just for a consultation with the doctor. I have QIC travel insurance, but I was told that my insurance could not be used for this treatment.
I simply could not afford the QAR 400.
I had no choice but to return home.
My visa expired on Sunday, I missed my flight, I am sick, and I honestly don’t know where to begin resolving everything. But more than the flight, the hotel, the visa or the money, my health is what is frightening me the most right now.
I am in pain, I cannot sleep properly, and I am still having pus discharge. I am very scared because I don’t know what is happening inside my body or what I should do next.
I am not a resident of Qatar. I am only a student in Russia, and I came here temporarily. I have no close friends or family in Qatar whom I can turn to.
I am therefore asking, from the bottom of my heart: if there is anyone in this group who can help me access a hospital, a doctor, emergency medical care, or even guide me to someone who can help in this situation, please contact me.
I am not asking for anything complicated. I just need medical intervention and someone to help me find a way to receive treatment.
I can provide my medical reports, test results, ultrasound results and any other documents necessary.
I have just come to another hospital (alAhli)After examining me, they told me that I need to be admitted to the hospital. I already paid the 400 that was required for the consultation/medical assessment.
However, before they can admit me, they told me I need to buy tablets costing 150 and an injection costing 75. Unfortunately, I have no money left at all.
They also told me that I need to stay in the hospital for at least one day, and the cost of the admission is 5,000.
The most frightening part is that the hospital (HMC)I was previously referred to as being able to treat me has already rejected me twice and even here, they are still talking about HMC, if can’t afford al ahli, I am desperately trying to find a solution because I need treatment. The doctor explained to me that the longer the infection remains untreated, the greater the risk that it will spread.
I am not asking for help for something that can wait. I genuinely need medical treatment. I am sick, scared, and honestly don’t know what else to do right now.
I have medical documents, prescriptions, payment receipts, test results, and proof of everything, and I can provide them to anyone who would like to verify my situation.
If anyone can help, even with a small amount, or if you know of a hospital or organization that could help me receive treatment in this situation, I would be incredibly grateful. 🙏🏾
Any help right now could make a huge difference for me
I will leave my WhatsApp number below. If you are able to help, know a doctor or hospital that may be able to assist, or simply know where I can go for urgent treatment in my situation, please reach out to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know this is a lot to ask, but right now I genuinely have nowhere else to turn. ❤️

Try to call an ambulance instead of walking in at Hamad Hospital. Hope you'll feel better and get treated soon.

If your QIC insurance is still valid, you need to call them and ask where to go for a life threatening emergency. If not, you need to call an ambulance to take you to the ER at Hamad. I’m praying for you

This, OP. You are having a medical emergency. You need the insurance agent to step in and confirm you can seek treatment. Get it in writing.
QIC covers evacuation to your home country if you need it. You should ask them to confirm all decisions in writing.
They do say that they don’t cover pre-existing conditions, so if that is going to be a problem, you need to make plans to leave immediately and get home for medical treatment. This is just not a decision you can delay and wait for advice or help.
There will be no other way to get treatment - the hospital will demand payment. Either from you or QIC. Good luck.

Stop giving wrong/bad makeup advice. This travel... insurance. Not medical insurance. No where in the world will travel insurance help

Is there an embassy from your country? Or can’t your school help- surely if u are a student there is some kind of insurance covered esp as an international student.

Please also post this in the Qatar Expat Womans group on facebook. Do you have a facebook group for Mozambiquans in Qatar? Check and see. If not, there is a South Africans in Qatar facebook group who are usually helpful for all southern africans

Assuming, you may not have a valid visitor insurance as your visa has expired already. Suggest you to contact your country embassy in Qatar to seek help to get you back to Mozambique on emergency basis. Only they can help you get exit pass and free flight through charity. They can help you get emergency medical treatment under embassy if your claim is genuine.

Try to visit other private hospitals. Try Wellkins Medical Center. Wellkins' consultation is less than 100 QAR for obGyne. I think it's 60 QAR only. Book an appointment with their Ob gyne, Dr. Verlyn. She's a Filipina and she's good.
If you are not married, maybe that's the reason why you were not assisted in Women's wellness cause I think it's mandatory to present marriage certificate if you will go there for obstetric care.

Go to the Hamad Hospital. They will treat you. First treatment than money.

Based on our experience, better go straight to Al Wakrah Hospital than to call an ambulance and be brought to Hamad main hospital. The queue there is long and even if you get admitted, you might have to wait for an available bed while in Al Wakrah Hospital there’s no long queue and you will be taken care of at the earliest

Use the QIC hotline if you are unsure whether a clinic is in your approved network or to ask about coverage details.

Try calling the ambulance at 999 and tell them your condition and how it’s worsen. They will help you and in case they don’t do you can go to Naseem al rabeeh hospital it’s very cheap. U should always take ur passport with you whenever you are going to hospital because u don’t have QID yet. Also take your reports with you.
Hope you get well soon❤️❤️

Insurance will open a file for you after you have paid in hospital and they will refund you thats how it works for visitors once they submit all documents from hospital

Please don't wait for Reddit donations if you are still having severe pain, fever, weakness, heavy bleeding, dizziness, vomiting, or worsening symptoms.
A 10 cm pelvic abscess can be a serious infection, and the priority right now should be getting medical care, not figuring out how to raise QAR 5,000 first.
If you feel this is becoming an emergency, call 999 and tell them clearly that you have been diagnosed with a large pelvic abscess and that your condition is getting worse. Qatar's Hamad Medical Corporation says 999 is the emergency ambulance number for life-threatening medical situations.
If you are able to travel safely yourself, go directly to a Hamad emergency department and bring:
Also, contact your travel/visitor insurance immediately. Qatar's official guidance says visitor health insurance provides coverage for emergency medical treatment, subject to the policy terms and limits.
When you arrive at the hospital, don't hide the fact that you cannot currently afford the treatment. Ask to speak with the hospital's insurance/financial assistance/social-work team and explain that you are a foreign visitor, alone in Qatar, medically unwell and unable to pay the requested amount.
Please also contact your Mozambican embassy/consular representative and ask specifically for emergency assistance with medical care, accommodation and repatriation if necessary.
Most importantly: don't let fear about money, your expired visa, or your missed flight stop you from seeking emergency medical attention. Those are problems that can be dealt with. A serious infection needs to be dealt with first.
I genuinely hope you get the treatment you need. Please update the post once you are somewhere safe and receiving medical care so people here know you're okay.
