The first version of the Group’s healthcare plan was drafted by ten prominent businessmen from Qatar in 1989. Initially, the idea of ​​the project was to build a 100-bed private hospital specializing in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. In 1990, the founders acquired several hectares of land in the Wadi Al Sail area, as support from the Qatari government to build a new healthcare facility that had already been established there, with the generous support of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani. On 17 December 1995, the office of His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the former Emir of the State of Qatar, issued an Emiri Decree to establish Al Ahli Hospital, which is now known as “Group Healthcare Q.P.S.C.” Under the patronage of His Highness the Emir of the State of Qatar, the healthcare project attracted more interest, attracting more new investors, and the number of original founders increased from ten to one hundred. To complete the establishment procedures and manage the development of the project, a founding committee was elected in 1996, headed by Mr. Abdulrahman Issa Al Mannai.

After carefully reviewing the project plan, the founding committee decided to build a multi-specialty hospital with a capacity of 250 beds. The goal was to provide guests with an experience similar to that of a luxury five-star hotel, by providing the highest quality healthcare services in a calm and friendly atmosphere. In 2001, a major step was taken to make the hospital’s financial structure compatible with Islamic principles and the statute. This came after the election of a new board of directors headed by His Excellency Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani as Chairman, whereby the loan originally obtained to build the hospital was converted into Islamic financing that is compatible with the teachings of Islamic law.

As a result, the capital was increased and the debt was fully repaid. By 2006, the ownership of the hospital was fully transferred to the investors.

By January 1, 2004, the hospital was fully equipped with the latest medical technology. In November of the same year, it was officially opened for business, which represented a major leap in providing the best and most modern healthcare services to the community.
