MoPH Develops Advanced Occupational and Environmental Medicine Programme in Qatar
Date : 01 January 2025
Venue : Doha, Qatar
The Ministry of Public
Health (MoPH) has developed an advanced occupational and environmental medicine
programme in collaboration with the World Health Organization's (WHO) Regional
Office for the Eastern Mediterranean. The programme is one of the outputs of
the occupational health objectives outlined in the Second National Health
Strategy.
A work plan has been
established to implement the advanced programme as part of the Occupational
Health and Safety (OHS) Initiative, a priority under the National Health
Strategy 2024–2030 aimed at improving the health and well-being of the
population. A scientific committee, comprising MoPH staff, an expert from the
WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, and WHO representatives, was
formed to study and outline a mechanism for the programme’s national
implementation and to identify trainees, targeting specialists and consultants
in occupational medicine, family medicine, and community medicine.
