Under the patronage of the Minister of Public Health HE Dr Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) is set to unveil its third Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP) tomorrow. This pivotal milestone marks a significant step forward for the corporation, aligning seamlessly with the third Qatar National Health Strategy (NHS3) 2024-2030 and the new Qatar National Development Strategy 2024-2030. This is based on the achievements made during the first National Primary Health Care Strategy (NPHCS) 2013-2018 and the second CSP 2019-2023.
The event will commence with the press conference at 9am, attended by Dr Mariam Ali Abdul Malik, Managing Director of PHCC, along with Steven Emery, Assistant Managing Director for Strategy at PHCC, and Dr Mohamed Ghaith Al Kuwari, Executive Director of Strategy Planning and Health Intelligence at PHCC. This will be followed at 10am by the official launch ceremony and speeches from officials and those responsible for the strategy.
Major Themes
This CSP has been developed collaboratively involving PHCC staff, the health sector, patients, and representatives from patients and the community. It builds on key pillars such as Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030 and NHS3. These strategies call for a focus on several health sector themes, including a focus on population health, setting ambitious targets to improve health outcomes, improving the quality of health services, and facilitating access for patients, in addition to a renewed focus on sustainability in the services provided. These have been incorporated in PHCC’s new plan as the core themes upon which our strategic priorities are based.
Priority Population Groups
The PHCC continues to support priority population groups at the national level, with its services aligned to meet the needs of these groups, giving them additional attention. The focus is on enhancing innovation in delivering community healthcare, integrated health services, and emphasizing preventive health.
Its strategic objectives address the health needs of these priority populations, improving the health of individuals with multiple chronic conditions, the health and well-being of people with special needs, and the health of the elderly.
Strategic Objectives
PHCC’s strategic objectives have been developed collaboratively through multiple workshops involving all stakeholders, along with numerous surveys and ongoing feedback. This process aims to identify the areas and objectives that will continue to move PHCC forward and build on the second CSP achievements. PHCC has identified 12 strategic objectives that will aid efforts over the next phase, with a focus on shifting the balance from curative care to health promotion and prevention for all members of the community.
