The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) said that the Second National Health Strategy (NHS2) 2018-2022 has successfully accomplished over 90 percent of its outcomes and played a crucial role in the ongoing sustainable development and improvement of healthcare in Qatar, aiming to enhance the health of the Qatari community.

The announcement comes as the MoPH is gearing up to launch the Third National Health Strategy 2024-2030.

Director of the Strategic Planning, Performance and Innovation Department at the Ministry of Public Health Huda Al Khtheeri stated, "The strategy has successfully accomplished over 90 percent of its outcomes across 54 projects, focusing on prevention, wellness, improving access to care, and delivering services in a more integrated manner.”

"These accomplishments were achieved despite the strategy’s implementation period coinciding with the global health challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Qatar successfully managed the crisis and maintained one of the lowest mortality rates globally. Furthermore, throughout the strategy’s implementation, significant attention was paid to ensuring the successful hosting of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which was recognised as the healthiest tournament ever.
