DOHA: The largest conference dedicated to healthcare quality improvement and patient safety in the Arab world is about to open its doors to more than 2,500 local and international healthcare professionals.
Organisers have announced that the sixth Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, being held from March 23 to 25 March at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), will feature an expanded ‘Knowledge Zone’ exhibition section with strategic healthcare partners showcasing their contribution to quality improvement and patient safety.
This year’s primary partners for the ‘Knowledge Zone’, the Forum’s unique exhibition space, include the Ministry of Public Health, Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC), Sidra Medicine, the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), Qatar University, and Cerner. Qatar Armed Forces and the Ministry of Interior will also be in attendance and will feature special mobile healthcare services.
Additionally, Cerner, a global leader in healthcare technology and the provider of the electronic health records platform used across Qatar, will participate in the launch of a joint project with PHCC and HMC that demonstrates patient-centered care.
Other stands confirmed for this year’s ‘Knowledge Zone’ will feature the latest advancements from some of HMC’s specialized centers, including the ITQAN Clinical Simulation and Innovation Center, Qatar Organ Donation Center (HIBA), the Tobacco Control Center, and Hamad International Training Center. Additionally, the Ambulance Service will stage live demonstrations in a specially designed presentation area, which will also feature select poster presentations.
“We are delighted to have so many strategic partners from different sectors participating in the Forum this year. Every one of them makes an important contribution to patient safety, and they represent how collectively each helps raise the standards of patient care in Qatar,” said Dr Abdulla Al Ansari (pictured), HMC’s Acting Chief Medical Officer and Middle East Forum Co-Chair.
HMC’s exhibition stand will showcase one of this year’s key Forum topics, ‘Joy at Work’ and will engage with stand visitors to demonstrate the importance of the concept, not only to the individual but also to the organization and ultimately patients.
