Dear Colleagues 

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Qatar healthcare providers have come together as hospitals, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and many other front-line staff, first responders, and leaders to urge our residents to protect themselves, their neighbors, and their loved ones amidst the worst global crisis in generations.  2020 was a year filled with many emotions from a sense of fear, sadness, accomplishment, joy, and so much more.  And we recognize that 2021 continues to offer challenges. We send our gratitude for your on-going steadfast efforts to keep patients safe and ensure patient safety is everyone’s responsibility, year round. 

To continuously remind us the importance of patient safety, we will be hosting this year’s Patient Safety Awareness Week, June 10 - 12, 2021 with the theme “Together, we are Better, Stronger, Safer: Bringing the care team together for patient safety.”

As health care providers, we must lead in educating our staff and public about important patient safety issues. Thank you for your continued participation and partnership as we work together to increase patient safety awareness.
