MEDICAL R&D IN QATAR<br />

Currently, there is lots of investment in research and development, through<br />

organizations such as the Qatar Foundation. There are also funds to attract<br />

researchers to come to Qatar with financing for existing research and development<br />

projects that occur in several places around the world. This is not yet up to speed but<br />

the growth of projects and breakthroughs year by year is quite high. If we compare<br />
