ASPETAR Sports Hospital

Hello,
I am curious to know what the readership thinks of the following salaries/allowances of jobs currently available at ASPETAR Sports Hospital:
Director of Pharmacy: 28k pm
Medical Officer: 25k pm
Senior Nurse: 14k pm
Junior Nurse: 10k pm
Ultrasonographer: 15k pm
Annual renewable contracts, 7 hours per day.
Plus 30-40 days annual leave, based on seniority.
Annual flights, accommodation, transport, and insurance, all at no cost.
Do these seems reasonable salaries for the skills and experience required in these positions? From what I can gather from other posts on QL, they seem a little on the low side although by no means bad.
Thanks for your input.

Low compared to what? ...HMC? This is the govt. owned hospital and serves the bulk of the population of Qatar. Check if the medical workers in HMC get these rates, and if not- yet they have tons of workload- then Aspetar's rates are above industry I should say.

For an orthopedic physician? ...For an orthopedic physician? No, probably not. But that's because it would be less than he/she made in the US. Isn't that what it's all about?

I'm sorry, my mistake. Just ...I'm sorry, my mistake.
Just bare in mind for everybody here, just talk or make your statement if you know the situation. Don't talk or make statement by your "only" judgement or opinion.
Everybody here in QL i think is more like me, working in Qatar as an expat. You all get the offer before you came here. Do your feasibility study first before you take the offer. After all the facts shown, and then make the decision. Don't after you came here say you cant live with that offer, its to late and then you'll try to demoralize other people to come here.
for this to girls "angelina & mandilulur". please accept my apologize. hopefully its wont happen again.
thank you.

Thank you for your apology, ...Thank you for your apology, however, I doubt you are in marketing because if you were you wouldn't state where you work and then tell people to 'shut up' which is seen as highly offensive where I come from! I take it Aspetar works on its reputation and it's completely shattered when employees state such unfriendly and unwelcoming words in their replies! I see that you realise that with your apologies......be very careful in future....Qatar is a very small place! You havem't been here long enough to realise that.....

no im not from marketing, i ...no im not from marketing, i just expressing the real thing becoz im from this company, thats all.
im apologizing because i dont want my company had a bad reputation as we are one of the best here. its all about me. my mistake.
and also it was big mistake for me to respond to this forum. this will be my last contribution to QL.
thank you.
sincerely regards,
me.
