The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) is set to launch its 2026 Patient Safety Campaign from September 17-23, in alignment with Qatar Patient Safety Week and World Patient Safety Day, observed every year on September 17. This year's theme, Safe Care for Noncommunicable Diseases, underscores the significance of providing secure and continuous care for individuals managing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and other ailments requiring ongoing management and follow-up.
Dr Amal Abdullah al-Ali, Executive Director of Quality, Patient Safety and Innovation at PHCC, highlighted that patient safety is a top priority for the corporation. She stressed that enhancing care safety for noncommunicable diseases necessitates a genuine collaboration between patients and healthcare providers, along with a steadfast dedication to quality- and safety-oriented practices throughout the patient's journey.
Nawal Khattabi, Director of Risk Management, Patient Safety and Patient Engagement at PHCC, explained that the campaign's objectives are to heighten awareness of prevention, early detection, regular follow-up, and adherence to treatment plans. Additionally, the initiative aims to empower patients to actively participate in their own healthcare safety, thereby reducing risks, enhancing health outcomes, and improving quality of life.
PHCC health centres will host a range of activities during the campaign, including educational booths for patients and visitors, workshops and training programs for healthcare professionals, and educational and digital materials disseminated via PHCC's social media channels. These efforts are designed to promote patient safety and best practices in chronic disease management.
The campaign will also incorporate interactive competitions and daily awareness messages tailored to various community segments. Moreover, PHCC headquarters and multiple PHCC health centres will be illuminated in orange, the globally acknowledged colour symbolizing World Patient Safety Day.
