Initially conceptualized by ten Qatari businessmen in1989, Al-Ahli Hospital was sketched as a 100-bed profit-based hospital to specialize in Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. After a year of project envisage, this motivated private group of shareholders approached His Highness the Emir Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani for his assistance and in 1990, several hectares of land located in Ahmed Bin Ali Street (its present location) was awarded to them by the Government of Qatar conditional to building a new healthcare facility.
On the 17th of December 1995, an official Emiri Decree was issued from the Office of His Highness the Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, announcing Al-Ahli Hospital Company (now called Medicare Group Q. S. C.) as a public shareholding company.
Strengthened by the support of His Highness the Emir, this healthcare project attracted other private individuals to participate as shareholders. The original ten initiators grew to about one hundred founding members and a Founding Committee was elected in 1996 with the Chairmanship of Sheikh Ali Al-Khater.
The Founding Committee revisited the project plan and finally decided to build a 150-bed private general hospital that would provide five-star healthcare services in a relaxing environment, a hospital that would make you feel like you are in a luxurious hotel.
With the election of the new Board of Directors (Chairmanship of Sheikh Thani Bin Abdullah Al-Thani) in 2001, further changes have been made in the construction of the hospital, making it a 250-bed general hospital, equipped with all the necessary state-of-the-art medical technologies, which was finally finished on 1st of January 2004.
Al-Ahli Hospital officially opened its services to the public in June 2004.
The current Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of both Medicare Group and Al-Ahli Hospital, Mr. Abdulwahed Al-Mawlawi, was elected by the Board of Directors on the 2nd of April 2006. With his vast experience in senior management and healthcare, Mr. Al-Mawlawi introduced the concept of Love as the ultimate value of Al-Ahli Hospital.
