The QCHP doctor route under the Ministry of Public Health
The Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP), operating under the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), evaluates international medical graduates through primary source verification and specialty Prometric testing.
Your MBBS degree, house job certificate, PMDC registration, and clinical experience letters require HEC and MOFA legalisation followed by Qatar Embassy stamping in Islamabad. We manage the complete verification and attestation lifecycle so your QCHP file proceeds smoothly.

What professionals say about this route
Clients who took the doctor file through QCHP and the Pakistan-side document chain.
“SCFHS asked for Dataflow verification before my Saudi nursing licence. Attestdone prepared the degree and licence documents in the format Dataflow wanted and couriered them under my reference number. The report came back in about four weeks.”
Saima Noor

“The DHA needed a primary source verification for my Dubai licence. Attestdone checked the required format, coordinated the university submission, and handled the courier. The PSV came through without a single query.”
Dr. Adeel Yousaf

“The Qatar Embassy rejected my degree once over a small tear on the corner. Attestdone inspected it before resubmission and got it accepted on the second attempt. They know how strict that post is about document condition.”
