Food poisoning came probably from a Turkish restaurant

Severe food poisoning cases were reported from Hamad hospital -  20 people became seriously ill  - all had barbecue chicken on Saturday evening at a Turkish restaurant somewhere  near Al-Ahli hospital .The police sealed off the place and investigations are  going on .
The victims had very bad stomach ache and were vomiting some hours after having their dinner .Children and women -whole families became sick .A pregnant woman gave birth too early due to the abdominal pain of the poisoning . The baby is at the Intensive Care Unit now .

The local authorities are usually very strict with restaurants breaching the law  and they close them for minor offences for months . The problem is the  great fluctuation of the employees  - they come to this country  then  go - then new ones come etc .This way it is extremely difficult to find reliable workforce in every field .

Personally , I will stay away from restaurants for a while . Right on the day of our arrival in this country we got  terrible food poisoning -most probably in Egypt we had some salad with cheese the day before .Then for a half year we did not dare any restaurants in Doha . Once bitten twice shy !
