Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) recently organized a capacity-building workshop in collaboration with the World Health Organization to enhance health emergency preparedness using the Strategic Tool for Assessing Risks (STAR). The workshop focused on training participants on identifying priority health risks, analyzing their likelihood and potential impacts, and supporting risk-based planning and decision-making.
This provided an opportunity for representatives from health authorities, government entities, and national partners involved in risk and emergency management to strengthen multisectoral participation and coordination in assessing national health risks. The workshop is a preparatory phase for the national workshop scheduled for November, aimed at developing the National Health Risk Profile by updating national health-risk priorities based on current developments and challenges.
This follows similar national workshops held in 2022 and 2024, which have contributed to strengthening preparedness and response planning for health emergencies and disasters.
