Qatar became the first country where all its municipalities earned the title of Healthy City
Date : 15 April 2024
Venue : Doha, Qatar
The State of Qatar has managed to build a
world-class public healthcare system in recent years thanks to a multi-sectoral
approach to health and well-being in the country. The state has invested
significantly in enhancing the health and well-being of its population and
achieving sustainability in pursuit of Qatar's National Vision 2030.
As a result, Qatar became the first country
where all its municipalities earned the title of "Healthy City" from
the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, Qatar Foundation's Education
City was awarded the title of "Healthy Educational City," and Qatar
University was recognized as a "Healthy University." Achieving this
milestone required placing health as a priority for cities by promoting health,
equity, and sustainable development. This pioneering approach was translated
into initiatives, strategic policies, and best practices by prioritizing
"Health in All Policies" in close collaboration across various
sectors of the state.
