The agreement aims to establish a strategic framework for collaboration in scientific research, training, capacity building, and support for continuing education programmes, aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the National Health Strategy 2024-30.
The DI said in a statement that the MoU seeks to explore opportunities for co-operation between the two parties through specialised training courses, hosting DI students in practical training programmes within the PHCC, and developing joint research projects that contribute to producing impactful scientific publications addressing healthcare issues at the national and regional levels.
It also provides for the possibility of recruiting outstanding DI graduates to work at the PHCC and outlines plans for joint participation in relevant national and international conferences and forums.
The MoU was signed by PHCC Workforce Training and Development executive director Laila al-Jasmi, and Dean of the DI’s School of Economics, Administration and Public Policy, Dr Ayhab Saad.
"The signing of this memorandum represents a strategic step towards building strong bridges of collaboration between higher education and the healthcare sector in Qatar,” said Dr Saad. “At the DI, we believe that investment in scientific research is an investment in the health and well-being of society.”
“This partnership reflects our commitment to graduating cadres capable of making a real impact and enhancing the quality of healthcare and education in line with Qatar National Vision 2030,” he said.
Al-Jasmi emphasised that the agreement reflects the PHCC's commitment to strengthening the capabilities of its medical and administrative staff through the latest training methods.
This, she noted, will help reduce medical errors, improve patient experiences, and accelerate the delivery of services. – QNA
