About

The launch of the National Health Strategy 2018-2022 (NHS-2) was a critical moment in Qatar’s health journey, and the work of NHS-2 has had a profound impact on our people’s health and our country’s healthcare system in the last 5 years.

The achievements of NHS-2 in terms of patient outcomes are wide reaching, from improved dental health for children, better midwifery services for women, and easier access to care for the elderly, to increased mental health services in our communities. Improvements at the health system level are evidenced with the development of the National Health Literacy Framework, the launch of the Qatar Chronic Disease National Profile and the establishment of multiple national guidelines, including for occupational health and workplace wellness.

There are many more NHS-2 achievements to be celebrated and I want to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of all involved, and I thank them for their contributions to the health and wellbeing of the population of Qatar. NHS-2 sets both a high bar and a solid foundation for the continued development of the delivery of the very best healthcare to our nation.

The National Health Strategy 2024-2030 (NHS-3) will build on this work by anchoring on three priority areas: Population Health, with a focus on individual and population outcomes; Service Delivery, with a focus on providers, integrated care and patient experience; and Health System Efficiency, with a focus on health system enablers. These priority areas reflect our remaining challenges including reducing the incidence of non-communicable disease, standardizing integrated patient pathways, and fully digitizing our health system. The National Health Strategy 2024-2030 has a strong focus on implementation that will ensure participants across the system are well supported to deliver at project level. As such, I have great confidence in the success of this strategy.

Many stakeholders contributed to the design of the NHS-3 including from within the Qatar health system and other sectors, organisations, experts and patient representatives.

I thank each individual contributor for their tremendous efforts.

Our vision for the NHS-3 is bold and clear: we aspire to deliver the population of Qatar a health-focused society that is supported by an integrated health system centered on clinical excellence, sustainability and innovation. I look forward to witnessing the realization of this vision in the coming years.
