Doha: Primary Heath Care Corporation (PHCC)’s leadership has highlighted the corporation's achievements on the occasion of the Qatar National Day.
Managing Director of PHCC, Dr. Mariam Abdulmalik, stated that Qatar National Day will remain one of the unforgettable days, as it is an occasion where we derive all the meanings of belonging to our homeland and loyalty to wise leadership of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his esteemed government.
Qatar’s celebrations this year come under the slogan ‘Our Unity is the Source of Our Strength’, a slogan that carries deep national connotations reflecting the spirit of belonging to the homeland and consolidating the values of loyalty, solidarity and national unity.
“This year coincides with Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, as the first Arab country to host the World Cup, to become a major event allowing us to introduce the world to our civilization, our values, the authenticity of our history, our culture, our customs, our traditions, our morals and our Islamic identity that we are proud of,” said Dr. Abdulmalik.
She noted that PHCC has improved its services provided through its health centers and launched new health centers, to meet as many community health needs as possible and enhance the capacity and efficiency of the workforce. This is done through additional investment and staff development and training, making primary health care the first and continuous point in the Qatar’s health system.
“On Qatar National Day, December 18, we pledge to our leadership and our loyal people that PHCC will continue to do its utmost and harness all its potentials and energies to push the national strategy forward towards achieving the ambitious goals set for it,” added Dr. Abdulmalik.
Dr. Samya Al Abdulla, Executive Director of Operations at PHCC, said that the National Day has many values and principles that the Qatari citizen cherishes, and connotations that clearly contribute to the consolidation of the values of loyalty, solidarity and unity among all people of Qatar.
Musallam Al Nabit, Assistant Managing Director of Administrative Affairs and Corporate Services at PHCC, said: “The National Day this year is different, as it coincides with the State of Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, making each one of us an ambassador of this country, old and young, citizens and residents, ambassadors of our morals, values, culture, authenticity, customs and heritage over the years, especially that the world is coming to Qatar on this occasion with its various cultures.”
Huda Al Wahedi, Executive Director of PHCC’s Corporate Communications, said that Qatar National Day is an opportunity to promote the values of loyalty and belonging to the homeland and to evoke the values, meanings and principles on which the state was founded. In addition to the achievements Qatar has made under the wise leadership and their wise vision on which Qatar National Vision 2030 was based.
