Doha: The Ministry of Public Health decided to unify the price of Coronavirus (Covid-19) examination in private health facilities, starting tomorrow, Thursday, April 8.
The Ministry announced its decision to fix a flat rate of QR300 for Covid-19 testing in private health facilities.
This decision follows the announcement made by Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) to temporarily stop the provision of COVID-19 PCR swabs for people traveling abroad.
