Al-Ahli Hospital
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 49.8/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #11 of 14 ranked clinics · last checked 17 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Large private general hospital in Doha whose plastic and reconstructive surgery service is led by a named professor of plastic surgery. Neither the specialist nor the facility register could be queried for it.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: isaps, 17 September 2026 — The DHP practitioner search was re-probed first (GET and POST, en and ar) and still returns the JS bot interstitial, so the class stays closed. Secondary routes were then run for Dr. Hamdy ElKhatib (ISAPS name queries "ElKhatib", "Khatib" and "Hamdy"): ISAPS name queries returned 0 cards and the ISAPS Qatar member list (13 physicians) does not contain them; the ASPS Qatar international-member list (8 names) does not contain them; the Tabeebak Qatar listings (17 plastic surgeons, 23 + 11 dermatology profiles) do not contain them. |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-17 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The plastic surgeon is named with his role on a dedicated physician page on the hospital’s own site and tied to this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: clinic_published_licence, 17 September 2026 — The physician page publishes academic appointments and experience but no DHP/QCHP licence number, so the M3 = 3 anchor cannot be reached. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-17 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: data_gov_qa, 17 September 2026 — The MOPH facility service still answers every scripted request with the F5 BIG-IP image CAPTCHA. Of the two secondary routes, the Qatar Open Data Portal carries only aggregate facility counts and the Hukoomi service page only deep-links back to the CAPTCHA page, so no named facility record exists to match this address against. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-17 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Brand only. Brand name only; no legal entity or registration number published by the clinic (rubric anchor 2). Register query logged: The tokenised search returns cleaning, brokerage and banking trade names built on the same word stem; no row matches this hospital. This repeats the miss already recorded in the register map’s scope c [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or certification numbers are published on the reviewed pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives without guarantees. Systematic superlatives in the hospital’s own copy, including the page title carried across the site; no outcome or safety guarantee and no 100%-class claim was found. [site] Best Hospital in Doha, Qatar |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (en, ar) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risks, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document found on the pages loaded (rubric anchor 1: none of the five classes). Pages loaded: Loaded nine pages, including /en/about/, /en/faq/, /en/privacy-policy/, the physician page and the contact page; the "Feedback Management" menu entry answers 404. None of the five document classes is [site] |

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
