The facilities are open for Qatari and non-Qatari women aged above 40 years. The tests can be availed of through a referral from the primary health centres or a private clinic. Individuals can also book appointments directly. The evening clinic functioning the at Women's Hospital is offering free preliminary tests two days a week — on Sunday and Tuesday — from 5pm to 9pm. Appointments can be made by calling 4397828 during office working hours (from 7 am to 3pm).
