Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Interior HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani officially launched the National Health Strategy 2018-2022 (NHS 2018-2022) during a special ceremony at the Qatar National Convention Centre yesterday.

The launch of the five-year programme, which operates under the theme ‘Our Health, Our Future,’ was attended by more than 2,500 healthcare professionals from across Qatar’s health sector, and a number of regional and international delegations, reported Gulf Times.

The new strategy set out 19 national targets for which progress will be measured. These include specific targets for increasing physical activity amongst adolescents, implementing workplace wellness programmes and improving access to mental health services.

HE Dr Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Qatar’s Minister of Public Health, said the NHS 2018-2022 was aimed at providing better health for the entire population of Qatar.

“Building upon the impressive progress of the previous health strategy, we’ve developed a new National Health Strategy for the next five years. Our ambition for the next stage is to make sure that all the population living in Qatar enjoys better health,” she was quoted as saying by Gulf Times.

“We’ll focus our efforts on seven population groups, each of them having specific needs, such as children, individuals with special needs or the elderly. We’ll tackle five system wide priority areas such as health promotion to further strengthen the way in which the health system operates and help us to meet our ambitious targets,” she added.

Al Kuwari highlighted that Qatar’s health system made enormous progress under the National Health Strategy 2011-2016, and the new strategy will build upon the momentum to define a new path forward, inspired by the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Recently, Qatar’s medical system had been ranked as the best in the Middle East and 13th best in the world.
