National Health Strategy 3 Summary

Qatar's 3rd National Development Strategy

About

The launch of the National Health Strategy-2 in 2018 (NHS-2) was a critical moment in Qatar’s health journey, and the work of NHS-2 has had a profound impact on our country’s health and healthcare services in the last 6 years. The achievements of NHS-2 in terms of patient outcomes are wide reaching, from improved dental health for our children, better midwifery services for our women, and easier access to care for our 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.
