n the first half of 2026, Qatar's health department found 27 people who used fake work papers to get healthcare jobs. These papers were false experience certificates. The fraud was caught early during the document check. After that, these 27 people were put on a blacklist. They can never work in Qatar's health sector again.
A top health official, Dr. Saad Al-Kaabi, said that Qatar has strict rules to check all documents. The ministry also works with other trusted groups to make sure all certificates are real. This is done to keep patients safe and maintain good care.
