Organizing an initiative
If you have an initiative that you believe will benefit patients, we are happy to facilitate patients’ involvement in your activity.
We encourage all initiatives that benefit patients and in this context the QoL aims at expanding the scope of activities to include all possible community initiatives that support patients. We have specific rules for such activities so please do contact the QoL office on +974 44395037, Dr. Abdulkafi Alsaied on +974 5569 9511 or Sister Sahar Maksoud on +974 3304 2684 to discuss how to arrange collaboration on your proposed activity.
Community sponsorship
Qatar’s vision invests in community sponsorship of patients as an indicator of the country’s hospitality to its residents. From the QoL point of view this is translated into a Community Related Quality of Life (CR-QoL) concept. It complements the services that are provided by healthcare professionals at NCCCR, bridges the gap in QoL care of cancer patients and augments the balanced well-being of patients.
The extent of the holistic support that is required for cancer patients is massive and can only be covered by “On Target” collaboration between the hospital and the community. The philosophy is that; while NCCCR professionals focus on their target of excelling in treating patients medically and psychosocially, the community focuses on functional integration of these patients in the society.
As members of the community the QoL team are actively looking and seeking better and sustainable ways of engaging the community in cancer management so that the society support allows cancer patients to regain what they have lost in their life because of disease. A target that can only be reached via wide, diverse and on target activities that only the community can provide.
Therefore, to the community we say: Your unique contribution is required to support any community member who has been unfortunate enough to suffer from cancer and no other entity can do it on your behalf, only you; The TRUE COMMUNITY can do it. Cancer patients need to live with dignity, respect and consideration and this can only be achieved through the support of the community and its representing organizations. We channel your sponsorship and contribution to preserve the dignity and respect of cancer patients of all ages, races, cultures religions and nationalities.
Please do get in touch with the QoL team with your ideas, proposals, offers to help …etc. through any of the following communication pathways.
