DOHA: The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) and the Protection and Social Rehabilitation Center (AMAN) signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening community partnership and enhancing services provided to the most vulnerable groups - specifically women and children who are victims of violence and family breakdown.
The agreement was signed by Executive Director of Operations at PHCC, Dr Samya Ahmed Al Abdulla, and Acting Executive Director of AMAN, Fadl Mohammed Al Kaabi.
Under the agreement, beneficiaries will be granted easier access to preventive and therapeutic healthcare services provided by PHCC, while AMAN will continue supporting protection, rehabilitation, and social integration programs.
The partnership also involves exchanging expertise and information and organizing joint awareness campaigns to promote violence prevention and reinforce family cohesion. This will be accomplished through the establishment of a sustainable framework that enhances the quality of support and services, and by building an integrated safety network for beneficiaries through joint workshops, seminars, and training programs.
Managing Director of PHCC, Dr Mariam Ali Abdulmalik, stated that the agreement marks a significant step forward for both organizations and serves broader benefit of Qatari society, which remains the central focus of all state institutions and the true compass for collaboration and joint action plans.
In a press statement, she added that the collaboration would substantially boost community engagement. It aligns with PHCC's commitment to advancing efforts that foster a person-and community-centered healthcare culture and to opening direct lines of communication with members of the community.
PHCC emphasized that signing the agreement reflects its interest in reorienting services based on the perspectives of various stakeholders and societal sectors, offering more integrated and holistic care focused on individuals and families.
Acting Executive Director of AMAN, Fadl bin Mohammed Al Kaabi, stressed the importance of activating the principle of community partnership with sectors that provide fundamental rights to AMAN's target groups - namely, women, children, and victims of family violence and breakdown.
He noted that the healthcare sector plays a vital role in supporting these groups, calling it a strategic partner. Through the agreement, access to AMAN's protection, rehabilitation, and reintegration services will be facilitated, while PHCC will contribute by offering preventive and therapeutic healthcare services to AMAN's target population, in addition to collaborating in information exchange and expertise sharing.
Executive Director of Operations at PHCC, Samya Ahmed Al Abdulla, emphasized that the agreement represents an important step in enhancing synergy between the healthcare and social sectors, providing mutual support for both preventive and therapeutic programs, and delivering professional, comprehensive services that meet the needs of all groups.
She added that ongoing communication with partners plays a key role in improving the quality of healthcare services and raising awareness of the importance of prevention and rehabilitation, ultimately reflecting positively on public health outcomes.
She also pointed out that the agreement will help solidify cooperation between the two parties and achieve their shared goals through a sustainable and practical framework - one that enhances public health and the quality of services provided to target groups, especially women, children, and victims of domestic violence. It will also aid in their rehabilitation and reintegration into society, and promote awareness of child protection and rehabilitation for those affected by psychological and social challenges.
