Doha, Qatar - The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has illuminated several of its facilities in orange to commemorate World Patient Safety Day 2026. The lighting of its headquarters, along with health centers in Al Sadd, Al Waab, Qatar University, and Al Khor, symbolizes the company's dedication to improving patient safety and delivering high-quality healthcare to all community members.
The orange color was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a means of demonstrating solidarity and a collective commitment to making healthcare safer, particularly for individuals managing noncommunicable diseases. This initiative is part of PHCC's 2026 Patient Safety Campaign, which focuses on "Safe Care for Noncommunicable Diseases."
The campaign aims to raise awareness about the significance of safe and sustainable care for people with noncommunicable diseases and to enhance patient safety throughout the healthcare process.
This year's World Patient Safety Day emphasizes noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory illnesses. These conditions necessitate long-term management, continuous follow-up, and treatment across various levels of the healthcare system. The WHO stresses the importance of engaging patients, communities, and healthcare professionals in identifying patient safety risks and devising appropriate solutions.
Additionally, the organization highlights the necessity of strengthening primary healthcare and integrated health systems.
PHCC considers patient safety a strategic priority and reaffirms its commitment to providing safe, comprehensive, integrated, and patient-centered healthcare. The organization also reiterates its message that safe care is a fundamental right for every patient throughout their lifetime. The lighting of PHCC's facilities in orange serves as a visible reminder of the corporation's dedication to these principles.
