He said that this strategy comes amidst increasing health challenges, which calls for strengthening health services and improving the quality of care provided to patients and their families, particularly in relation to cancer.
He pointed out that the strategy is based on key national references, including the Qatar Third National Development Strategy (2024-2030), which supports sustainable development pillars across various economic, health, social, and educational sectors; the Qatar’s Charitable and Humanitarian Strategy (2023– 2030), which enhances efforts to provide necessary support to patients and improve their living conditions through various awareness and humanitarian programmes; the National Health Strategy 2024-2030, which focuses on the population’s health, comprehensive services, patient experience, and healthcare system efficiency; and the Qatar Cancer Plan 2023-2026, which aims to enhance prevention, early detection, and improve health care for cancer patients in Qatar.
