Abstract This sectoral policy is a nation-wide document that is a part of the National Development Strategy 2018-2022 and it based on the following Vision "Improved health for Qatar’s population, meeting the needs of existing and future generations". The Strategy reflects a global shift in thinking by focusing on seven priority population groups, in particular the most vulnerable individuals, including children, mothers, older people and those with special needs. In addition to the seven priority population groups, this Strategy focuses on five system-wide priority areas to improve the health system overall, such as (i) strengthening integrated care services; (ii) enhancing health promotion and disease prevention; (iii) enhancing health protection using data more effectively to make the right decisions for patients and services, (iv) effective governance considering health in all policies; and (v) developing an effective system of leadership to deliver the necessary changes and improvements. The approach for the health sector will be focused on the Triple Aim of better health, better care, better value. Better health will be achieved through a focus on health promotion, reduced exposure to disease risk factors and by encouraging healthy behaviors. Better care means ensuring more services available in community settings, close to people’s homes. Better value concerns the need to ensure the efficient and effective use of resources, whether they are monetary, human or infrastructure capital. Full text English Website www.moph.gov.qa
