He added that their skills and knowledge have been confirmed enabling them to provide high-standard medical care for citizens and residents in the State of Qatar.
For his part, Scientific Committee Chairman Dr. Abdulla Al Naimi stated that the policies, standards and relevant regulations of the exam have been set through the local expertise in Qatar by pursuing the state-of-the -art scientific technologies, where examinees from the key medical institutions in Qatar have been co-opted, trained and qualified through extensive courses and workshops to ensure high aptitude in writing the answers of exam.
