Qatar launches first guide to cancer services


The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has launched Qatar's first guide to cancer care services to make it easier for people with suspicion or diagnosis of cancer to access care services, navigate the healthcare system and have a smooth experience throughout their treatment journey.
The launch takes place in partnership with Hamad Medical Corporation, Primary Health Care Corporation, Sidra Medicine, Qatar Cancer Society, National Cancer Programme and Qatar Red Crescent Society.
The guide comes in the wake of the MoPH’s previous initiatives, including the launch of the three principles for healthcare services in Qatar for children, adults, and the elderly, the guide to mental health services, and the guide for maternity services.
All guides provide patients with the information they need to access healthcare services easily and to navigate the system conveniently, aiming at improving patient experience and making their treatment journey bearable.
"The delivery of cancer health services has progressed enormously over the years. There have been significant advances in identifying, diagnosing and treating this disease. Qatar's health system currently offers a wide range of cancer health services.
