Why focus on enhanced primary care system and collaboration for high quality care and patient safety?
As Qatar's leading provider of family medicine services, we recognize that we have a responsibility for the success of primary care and integrated family medicine, and the need to be part of a strong and vibrant primary care system where all providers share in the aim to provide a comprehensive and integrated health service for everyone.
We proactively seek to develop strong partnerships and full sector collaboration to ensure that people receive high quality health services, fully integrated across levels of care, and increasingly delivered to people in their communities.
Where are we now?
Primary care in Qatar is diverse, with over 250 private health centers, clinics, polyclinics and dental clinics.
However, PHCC employs the majority of family physicians, with specialist training in Family Medicine
With this strong base and the infrastructure of new facilities and integrated electronic medical records, there is a good foundation to build the future integrated model of care across the State.
Our goals for 2023:

- Ensure organization readiness for international accreditation of service quality including people centered care, and the EFQM government standards
