Qatar develops advanced occupational and environmental medicine programme

It is one of the outputs of the occupational health objectives outlined in the ‘Second National Health Strategy’.

Qatar’s 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.

A scientific committee has been formed to guide the programme’s national implementation and identify trainees, targeting specialists and consultants in occupational medicine, family medicine, and community medicine.

In line with this, the ministry organised a training workshop for trainers on the programme, focusing on building national capacity in occupational health and introducing the curriculum developed by the MoPH’s Occupational Health Section in collaboration with the WHO.

The programme is one of the outputs of the occupational health objectives outlined in Qatar’s ‘Second National Health Strategy’.
