HAMAD Medical Corporation (HMC) has won the Distinguished Arab Healthcare Organisation Award and the Minister of Public Health Her Excellency Dr Hanan Mohamed al Kuwari the Pioneer Leadership Award in Healthcare for 2019 at the 21st annual forum of the Arab Hospitals Federation, which started in Kuwait on Wednesday.
A delegation of senior officials from the Ministry of Public Health and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is attending the two-day conference being held under the patronage of Sheikh Dr Basel Hamoud al Hamad al Sabah, Kuwait’s minister of health.
Ali Abdullah al Khater, chair of the Ministry of Public Health’s Healthcare Communications Committee and chief communications officer at HMC is chairing the Qatar delegation and said the annual event brings together hundreds of senior healthcare leaders from across the region to discuss the most pressing issues facing the health sector.
“HMC’s participation in high-level meetings like the 21st Annual Forum of the Arab Hospitals Federation is part of our commitment to ensuring we are able to meet both the evolving healthcare needs of our growing population and our nation’s ambition to be one of the best health systems in the world. Qatar has created an infrastructure of healthcare services that are recognised as being on par with the best international standards. Gatherings like this conference ensure we remain abreast of the latest developments, the most cutting-edge techniques, and emerging issues and challenges facing the healthcare sector,” said Khater.
Mohamad Mubarak al Noimi, chief of staff for the Office of the Minister of Public Health and a member of the Executive Board of the Arab Hospitals Federation was awarded an Arab Hospitals Federation Golden Medal during the event in recognition of his contribution to the success of the Arab Hospitals Federation. He said Qatar’s reputation for providing safe, effective, high-quality care is recognised across the region, noting that Qatar’s health sector has much to share and celebrate and has a responsibility to impart its knowledge and experience to improve the region’s health systems.
Senior officials from HMC will lead two sessions during the event’s scientific programme – one on building an accountability framework for healthcare institutions and the other on the use of technology in healthcare.
Nasser al Naimi, HMC’s deputy chief of Quality, Center for Patient Experience and Staff Engagement said: “To understand how the healthcare environment can be modified to ensure we provide our patients with the safest, most effective care, we need to understand our vulnerabilities and our strengths. Human factors approaches to patient safety and quality improvement can help us achieve clinical excellence by incorporating the psychology of human behaviour and group dynamics to identify potential risks to patient care and propose solutions,” said Naimi.
Dr Khalid al Jalham, director of HMC’s Ambulatory Care Center and senior consultant in Urology Surgery, said: “Technology has brought a number of remarkable changes to healthcare, making it more reliable, efficient, cost-effective, and even less painful for patients,” said Dr Jalham.
The annual forum will coincide with an exhibition which will provide an integrated platform to share the latest discoveries and techniques in various medical specialties. Both the Ministry of Public Health and HMC will participate in the exhibition.
