The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has published 29 National Clinical Guidelines (NCG) as well as instructions for the most common treatment methods. These are available to health practitioners and healthcare facilities on the Ministry’s website.
This is part of the National Clinical Guidelines Development Program which aims to standardise health care practices, treatment and patient management in all health care facilities in Qatar based on best international practices and in line with culture and to meet the needs of the healthcare system in the country.
The programme is implemented by the National Clinical Guideline (NCG) team of the Department of Quality of Health Care and Patient Safety at the MoPH and in coordination with groups of experts from various healthcare providers in Qatar who have been selected according to specific criteria.
The MoPH, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), has conducted an evaluation on the development of clinical guidelines.
