“The National Health Strategy outlines the strategic directions and key initiatives that the health sector, under the leadership of the Supreme Council of Health, plans to undertake from 2011 to 2016. Successful implementation will require hard work and commitment from all stakeholders across the health sector, as well as intersectoral collaboration, to deliver positive outcomes for the health sector and the nation.

Qatar has an exciting future as it progresses toward the nation’s vision for 2030. The National Health Strategy is part of this future and requires strong backing and partnerships across government, the private sector, and civil society. Most important, we must create a health consciousness in our citizens and residents to support promotion and adoption of healthy lifestyles. We encourage and invite all to join in this journey toward.”
