Wheelchair hire in Doha

I found the same question posted last year - and a reply saying no hire available! But being an optimist(!), hoped things had changed and someone may be able to point me in the right direction.

It's for a friend who has an elderly relative visiting in March/April for a couple of weeks and although she is mobile enough and doesn't need a wheelchair back home, she wanted to see if there was an option of acquiring one as a back up just in case.

Many thanks

Thanks for your quick reply Gray Girl, I will ask the doc when I go back to the hospital on Saturday. Am getting cabin fever already :(

Jonners, I'm sorry to say that she didn't have any luck in finding one to hire. It might be worth contacting a couple of hospitals/clinics (Doha Clinic, Rumailah etc) or asking at your local health centre - surely they don't expect you to go out and buy a wheelchair? You'd think there'd be a few for loan somewhere... What a bummer - hope you heal up quickly xx

Hi Gray Girl, Don't suppose your friend had any luck in hiring a wheelchair for her relative? I broke my leg a few days ago and am desperate to get out and about - crutches aren't ideal!!! Thanks in advance.
