Introduction: Childhood mortality is an important health indicator that reflects the overall health status of a population. Despite the decrease in global childhood mortality rates over the past decades, it still remains an important public health issue in Qatar.Methods: The data from 2004-2016 were extracted from the Qatar Ministry of Public Health Birth and Death Database. International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) was used for coding the causes of death. The childhood mortality rate was defined as the probability of a child dying between the first and the fifth birthday, expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 children surviving to 12 months of age. The sex ratio was calculated by dividing the mortality rate of males by that of females. Mann-Kendall trend test was performed to examine time trends. Relative risks were calculated to examine differences by nationality (Qatari and non-Qatari) and sex.Results: A significant decrease in mortality rate of children aged one to five was observed from 1.76 to 1.05 per 1000 children between 2004 and 2016 (Kendall tau=-0.6, p=0.004). Three prominent causes of mortality were motor vehicle accidents, congenital malformations of the circulatory system, and accidental drowning/submersion. A statistically non-significant decrease in childhood mortality from motor vehicle accidents was oberved for all nationalities (total (Kendall tau=-0.03), Qatari (Kendall tau=-0.14), and non-Qatari (Kendall tau=-0.12)). A significant decrease was seen for total accidental drowning and submersion (Kendall tau=-0.54, p=0.012), while no statistically significant decrease was seen for total congenital malformations of the circulatory system (Kendall tau=-0.36, NS). The Qatari population did have a significant decrease in childhood mortality due to congenital malformations of the circulatory system (Kendall tau=-0.67, p=0.003) and accidental drowning and submersion (Kendall tau=-0.55, p=0.016).Conclusion: The study is a first attempt to evaluate childhood mortality statistics from Qatar and could be useful in supporting Qatar’s ongoing national health strategy programs.

Upper respiratory tract infections (URI) are very com-mon in general practice. Although viruses cause the ma-jority of URI, many patients expect antibiotic treatment. At one Primary Health Care Center in Qatar; during October - November 2004, eleven hundred and eleven adult patients completed a short questionnaire on demographics, knowl-edge, attitudes, practices towards URI, and patient satis-faction. Four hundred and forty eight (40.3%) recognized viruses as the most common cause of URI; seven hundred and eighty-eight (70.9%) chose consulting a physician as the first line of action when contracting URI; 721 (64.9%) stated that management should be based on physician's diagnosis while 28% expected antibiotics. A majority of participants acknowledged the importance of counseling in their satisfaction but 49.6% reported dissatisfaction if antibiotics were not prescribed and 31.6% reported seek-ing antibiotics when not prescribed. Participants expect-ing antibiotics differed significantly regarding knowledge of causes of URI (p = 0.004). There was no significant dif-ference regarding factors affecting satisfaction based on antibiotic expectation. Results highlight the need for public education and counseling on etiology, course, and management of URI by physicians.

Health care providers can effectively participate in oral health promotion for children in primary care setting. Currently, there are no oral health promotion programs that involve primary health care professionals in Qatar. Hence, this study was undertaken to examine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of all health professionals who work in the Well baby Clinics in the primary health centers.A 23-item questionnaire was distributed across 20 primary health centers. The questionnaire sought information on the demographic data of health professionals, their knowledge of oral health and their practices and attitudes towards critical oral health issues. Data were examined by Pearson Chi-squared tests or Fisher's Exact test (p = 0.05).The response rate of the health professionals was 67%. Only 35.7% of the 225 participants received some form of oral health training during their undergraduate programme. The participants would assess the dental problem of the child (p = 0.05) and discuss the importance of tooth brushing with the mother (p = 0.03). A significant number of respondents (p = 0.04) were unlikely to assess the children's fluoride intake. There was a significant difference in the group of participants that would examine the child's teeth (p = 0.1) and counsel the mothers on prevention of dental problems (p = 0.01). This group would also refer children to dentist at 12 months of age (p = 0.05).Health professionals had a positive attitude towards the anticipatory guidance elements of oral health. However, the knowledge of healthcare professionals on childhood oral health is rather limited.

Background: From 2004 to 2010, the population of Qatar increased by 128%, from 744,029 to 1,699,435 inhabitants. This sharp rise in population led to declines in per-capita health care personnel and hospital bed capacity. Aims and objectives: To examine patient and provider characteristics associated with health system performance measures, the variation in these measures between Qataris and non-Qataris, and whether these measures have changed over time. Methods: We examine access, utilization, health system responsiveness and satisfaction measures, using multivariate regression analysis based on health surveys from 2006 and 2010. For purposes of representativeness, 2006 analysis applied population weights, and 2010 analysis applied weights constructed by using age, gender, nationality and occupation, based on the 2010 Census. Results: For access, we find no differences between Qataris and non-Qataris in the probability of having a usual source of care (USC). For utilization, Qatari women are 67% more likely than non-Qatari women to have an inpatient stay; both Qatari men and women are more likely to have any outpatient visits (48% and 35%) compared to non-Qataris. For health system responsiveness, for outpatient care, those who go to private clinics report higher ratings than those who go to Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) centers in 2006. Those who go to private clinics, private hospitals and other/employer clinics report higher ratings than those who go to PHCC centers in 2010. For satisfaction with the health care system, non-Qataris are twice as likely as Qataris to report high satisfaction in 2006. Conclusions: We find that satisfaction with outpatient services for public providers is lower than ratings for private providers, most significantly for waiting times (odd ratio of 1.20 [0.15] vs. 0.77 [0.08]). For satisfaction with the health care system, non-Qataris are twice as likely as Qataris to report high satisfaction; although for access, we find no difference between Qataris and non-Qataris in the probability of having a USC. Policy implications include improving public services, increasing provider capacity and improving access to private providers. In addition, a major policy action was the launch of a mandatory social health insurance scheme in 2013, which enabled choice of provider and access to public and private providers. As such, increased provider capacity, public private partnerships, and competition between public and private providers are likely to improve services among public providers, including waiting times.

The latest scientific reports raise concerns about the rapidly increasing burden of chronic diseases in the state of Qatar. Pregnant Qatari women often confront complications during pregnancy including gestational diabetes, hypertension, abortion and stillbirth. The investigation of early life environmental, genetic, nutritional and social factors that may affect lifelong health is of great importance. Birth cohort studies offer a great opportunity to address early life hazards and their possible long lasting effects on health. The Qatari Birth Cohort study is the first mother-child cohort study in the Middle East Area that aims to assess the synergetic role of environmental exposure and genetic factors in the development of chronic disease and monitor woman and child health and/or obstetric characteristics with high prevalence. The present manuscript describes the recruitment phase of the study (duration: 2 years; expected number: 3000 families), where the pregnant Qatari women and their husbands are being contacted before the 15th week of gestation at the Primary Health Care Centers. The consented participants are interviewed to obtain information on several factors (sociodemographic characteristics, dietary habits, occupational/environmental exposure) and maternal characteristics are assessed based on anthropometric measurements, spirometry, and blood pressure. Pregnant women are invited to provide biological samples (blood and urine) in each trimester of their pregnancy, as well as cord blood at delivery. Fathers are also asked to provide biological samples. The present study provides invaluable insights into a wide range of early life factors affecting human health. With a geographical focus on the Middle East, it will be a resource for information to the wider scientific community and will allow the formulation of effective policies with a primary focus on public health interventions for maternal and child health.

On November 14, 2001, trade ministers from around the world approved the Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health (“Public Health Declaration”) at the end of the Fourth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar. The Public Health Declaration was the product of months of negotiations—described in this case—examining the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”) and its impact on the public health sector. Developing nations, confronted with emergencies like the AIDS crisis, encouraged the adoption of an approach to the TRIPS Agreement that would provide them with a greater degree of flexibility when dealing with matters related to public health. A bloc of developed nations, led by the United States, urged a more cautious reading of the TRIPS Agreement, emphasizing that patent protection was necessary for providing incentives to create new drugs. The Public Health Declaration reflected a consensus view that the TRIPS Agreement should be construed by governments in a way that supports the realization of their public health goals.

On October 24, Tommy Thompson, Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, and Helge Wehmeier, president of the Bayer Corporation, announced the federal purchase of 100 million tablets of ciprofloxacin (Bayer's Cipro) at half price. This emergency price cut was agreed after the US government threatened to override Bayer's patent on Cipro. The US government's action was sparked by the Canadian health ministry's decision to commission a local drug company to make ciprofloxacin, violating Bayer's patent rights. Bayer responded by donating a large amount of Cipro to Canada, and promising more in the event of an emergency, which led the Canadian government to agree to acquire ciprofloxacin exclusively from Bayer for the duration of the patent agreement. No new anthrax cases have been reported in Canada, yet the threat to public health was deemed enough for the Canadian government to challenge Bayer's patent rights. Events in the USA after September 11 have proven the bioterrorist threat to be real with documented cases of anthrax, but it is hard to justify the need for patent challenge on public-health emergency grounds, especially because the anthrax isolates seem to be sensitive to doxycycline. Bayer's patent for Cipro is protected by the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement, which sets minimum standards of patent law for member states of the World Trade Organisation. Under TRIPS, patent protection lasts for 20 years, although compulsory licensing (production of medicines by companies other than the patent holder) is allowed in public-health emergencies or where there are unfair pricing practices. The US government's action on Cipro is in stark contrast to US trade pressure on less-developed countries to limit compulsory licensing and parallel importing (importing of medicines from countries other than the country of manufacture). Parallel importing is also allowed under TRIPS, and is, like compulsory licensing, widely practised by western countries. Even where there is clear evidence of a public-health emergency, such as the HIV crisis in Africa and many parts of Asia, the US government has used its might to limit those countries' options to provide affordable drugs. For example, in 1998, under threat from the USA to increase tariffs on imports of wood products and jewellery, the Thai government limited the right to issue compulsory licences for Pharmaceuticals. Last year, the US government filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation over a law that enabled Brazil to produce cheap generic versions of antiretroviral drugs, stating that Brazil's patent law broke the TRIPS agreement. The number of AIDS-related deaths in Brazil has halved since 1995, partly due to the availability of cheap antiretroviral drugs. In June of this year, the US government retracted its complaint, after outcry from international aid agencies. In April, after a 3-year lawsuit, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of South Africa and 39 international drug companies dropped action to prevent the South African government from importing cheaper drugs for HIV and AIDS. TRIPS allows such imports but it took this case to prove that the AIDS epidemic, which has now affected more than 58 million people worldwide, killing 22 million, is of sufficient proportion to warrant recognition as a public-health emergency in TRIPS terms. Clarification of and changes to the TRIPS agreement to favour public-health needs over patent protection are urgently needed and have been called for by aid agencies and less-developed countries on the eve of the World Trade Organisation summit to take place in Qatar on November 9–13. So far, however, the US government, backed by Japan, Switzerland, and Canada, is opposing change. In June at the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, the USA pledged $200 million for a global AIDS fund, which was judged by many as a paltry sum. A task force to ensure a “comprehensive and coordinated effort” by the USA to combat AIDS was announced, chaired by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Tommy Thompson. It is time that the US government recognised that a “comprehensive and coordinated effort” means that public-health needs may have to override trade profits, and that putting money into a fund while doing its utmost to prevent life-saving treatments reaching those who need them is duplicitous. The US government should apply the same standards abroad as at home in defining what is, or is not, a public-health emergency.

Abstract Objectives To explore the patterns, trends, nature, and extent of changes in sickness absence among health care workers (HCWs) at the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) in Qatar-during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to previous years and uncover the main associated factors. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of all sick leaves’ records of PHCC HCWs regardless of their profession from January 2019 till August 2021. Results A total of 41,132 sick leaves were taken during the studied period. The majority of HCWs who availed sick leaves were between 30–39 years (45.9%), females (65.1%), and expatriates (65.1%). Compared with pre-COVID-19 (Jan 2019-Feb 2020), Wave 1 of COVID-19 had significantly less incidence of sick leaves per day per 1000 HCWs. While wave 2 had significantly higher incidence of sick leaves compared to both pre-COVID-19 and wave 1. The number of sick leaves per person among female HCWs was significantly higher than that of male HCWs. Moreover, the number of sick leaves per person among locals were about two times the number among expatriate HCWs. Physicians and nurses had significantly lower number of sick leave per person compared to other professions. The rates of sick leaves due to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection, back/neck pain and gastroenteritis were significantly higher in the second wave compared to the first wave of COVID-19. Conclusion Overall and cause specific sick leave rates among HCWs varied significantly across different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 related sick leave rate was higher during the second wave compared to first one. By addressing the root causes of sick leaves, it is possible to reduce the burden on HCWs and ensure their continued ability to provide essential care to those in need.

Viral hepatitis caused an estimated 1·4 million deaths in 2015—similar to tuberculosis and more than either HIV or malaria, yet historically these diseases have received insufficient attention from donors and policy makers. In May, 2016, the World Health Assembly adopted the Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, 2016–20, which aims to eliminate viral hepatitis as a major public health threat by 2030. The strategy set global targets to reduce new viral hepatitis infections by 90% and to reduce deaths due to viral hepatitis by 65%, focusing mainly on hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), which are responsible for most of the global burden. Last week, politicians, policy makers, researchers, and members of civil society met in São Paulo, Brazil, at the World Hepatitis Summit to take stock, with new data indicating that only a handful of countries are set to meet the 2030 targets. Practices associated with increased risks of contracting HBV and HCV have contributed to stigma and discrimination against patients, especially prisoners and people who inject drugs. Prevention of both diseases involves reducing the risks of exposure to the viruses, and, for hepatitis B, vaccination. Acute HBV and HCV infection tend to be asymptomatic; however, chronic infections can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Antiviral treatment for hepatitis B is not curative, but can slow disease progression and improve survival, whereas direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for hepatitis C can cure around 95% of cases. New data from WHO, released at the summit, showed the number of people who were newly treated for hepatitis C increased from 1·1 million in 2015 to 1·76 million in 2016. Likewise, 2·8 million people began treatment for hepatitis B in 2016, up from 1·7 million in 2015. Despite these improvements, data from the Polaris Observatory indicated that although 82 countries now have viral hepatitis plans, only nine (Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Georgia, Germany, Iceland, Japan, the Netherlands, and Qatar) are on track to reach their 2030 elimination goals for hepatitis C. Globally, a major challenge is diagnosis, with many countries “running out” of patients with hepatitis C to treat, according to the World Hepatitis Alliance. Indeed, new Polaris data indicate that just 20% of people with HCV have been diagnosed, ranging from around 44% in high-income countries to 9% in low-income countries. The price of DAAs, especially in high-income countries, is a barrier to providing effective treatment, with the list price of a 12-week course of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir ranging from US$78 in India to $77 000 in the UK and around $96 000 in the USA. Like many high-income countries, Australia initially restricted access to DAAs. But in March, 2016, following the implementation of a risk-sharing agreement with pharmaceutical companies, Australia initiated universal access. On a background of high diagnosis rates, this led to the treatment of over 30 000 patients in 2016. Challenges for the USA include the opioid crisis, which has caused some states to see steep increases in new HCV infections through injection drug use. Stretched prison budgets mean that although an estimated one in six prisoners has hepatitis C, few are treated. Children represent a particular challenge. The Polaris Observatory estimates that 52 million children were living with viral hepatitis in 2016—4 million with HCV and 48 million with HBV. Whereas new HBV infections are declining in children owing to vaccine use, new HCV infections are on the rise. Mother-to-child transmission was the main source of paediatric HCV infection, pointing to the need for comprehensive prevention programmes for women of childbearing age. Worryingly, treatment options are limited, with DAAs not recommended for pregnant women or children younger than 12 years. Writing in a recent Series paper for The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Wendy Spearman and colleagues argue that prevention of mother-to-child transmission through screening and treatment is a key priority for HBV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa. Several innovations could accelerate progress towards 2030 targets, including improved point-of-care diagnostics, establishing better treatment options for young children and pregnant women with hepatitis C, developing a functional cure for hepatitis B, improving access to generic DAAs, raising awareness and combating stigma, and developing sustainable financing models as part of progress towards universal health coverage. Yet, fundamentally, the tools needed to move towards elimination targets already exist—an effective vaccine for hepatitis B and a curative treatment for hepatitis C. What is needed now more than anything else is the political will to scale up prevention, diagnosis, and treatment programmes. Hepatitis B in sub-Saharan Africa: strategies to achieve the 2030 elimination targetsThe WHO global health sector strategy on viral hepatitis, created in May, 2016, aims to achieve a 90% reduction in new cases of chronic hepatitis B and C and a 65% reduction in mortality due to hepatitis B and C by 2030. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, and despite the introduction of universal hepatitis B vaccination and effective antiviral therapy, the estimated overall seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen remains high at 6·1% (95% uncertainty interval 4·6–8·5). Full-Text PDF Tackling hepatitis C—Pakistan's road to successIn November, 2017, the annual World Hepatitis Summit in São Paulo, Brazil, assessed WHO's global health sector strategy on viral hepatitis 2016–20, and called for prompt, innovative, and coherent interventions, along with evidence-based research.1 The viral hepatitis pandemic caused an estimated 1·4 million deaths in 2015, and yet has received inadequate attention from donors and policy makers until recently, as outlined in an Editorial in The Lancet (Nov 11, 2017, p 2121).2 New data indicate that action has been fragmented and insufficient, with only 82 countries, including Pakistan, adopting strategies to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.

Hospital-based surveillance has proved useful in determining the incidence of infectious diseases.This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of reported cases and specific performance indicators of the surveillance system.A descriptive study of reported communicable diseases was carried out in The Cuban Hospital (Qatar) during January 2012 to December 2013. A multidimensional communicable diseases surveillance approach was used. Information of epidemiological variables, laboratory confirmation and notification date were collected. We calculated the proportion of cases with laboratory confirmation and time between the report by the physician and notification to the Supreme Council of Health.A total of 1065 patients were reported; 802 (75.3%) male with a mean age of 33.2 (standard deviation 15.4) years. There was a predominance of cases from Southeast Asia (41.5%) and Eastern Mediterranean Region (16.7%). There were 539 cases of influenza-like illness, 186 of skin infectious diseases, 66 of scabies, 48 with multidrug-resistant organisms, and 39 cases of diarrhoea of presumed infectious etiology. A steady increase in laboratory confirmation was observed (mean 59.3%). Timing for notification to the Supreme Council of Health was 1.88 (2.9) days.The implemented hospital-based surveillance system was feasible and delivered important insights into the epidemiological characteristic of communicable diseases in a western community in Qatar.تطبيق نظام الترصد وعبء الأمراض السارية في أحد المرافق في قطر.هومبرتو جارسيل، تانيا هيرنانديز، المبشر بكر، أريادنا أرياس.لقد ثبت أن الترصد القائم على المستشفيات مفيد في تحديد معدل الإصابة بالأمراض المعدية.وصف الخصائص الوبائية للحالات المُبلغ عنها ومؤشرات أداء معينة لنظام الترصد.أُجريت دراسة وصفية للأمراض السارية المُبلغ عنها في المستشفى الكوبي (بقطر) خال الفرة من يناير/كانون الثاني 2012 إلى ديسمبر/كانون الأول 2013. واستُخدم نهج متعدد الأبعاد لترصد الأمراض السارية. وجُعت معلومات عن المتغرات الوبائية، والتأكيد المختري، وتاريخ الإخطار. وحسبنا نسبة الحالات المؤكدة مختبرياً والوقت المستغرق ابتداءً من تقديم الطبيب للتقرير حتى إخطار المجلس الأعى للصحة.بلغ مجموع المرضى المبلغ عنهم 1065 مريضاً، منهم 802 (75.3٪) من الذكور الذين يبلغ متوسط أعمارهم 33.2 (الانحراف المعياري 15.4) سنة. وكانت غالبية الحالات من جنوب شرق آسيا (41.5٪) وإقليم شرق المتوسط (16.7٪). وكانت هناك 539 حالة مصابة بمرض يشبه الإنفلونزا، و186 حالة مصابة بأمراض جلدية معدية، و66 حالة جرب، و48 حالة مصابة بكائنات مقاومة للأدوية المتعددة، و39 حالة إسهال من المحتمل أن يرجع إلى أسباب معدية. وقد لُوحظت زيادة مطردة في التأكيد المختري (المتوسط: 59.3٪). وكان الوقت المستغرق لإخطار المجلس الأعى للصحة 1.88 (2.9) يوماً.كان نظام الترصد المُطبَّق القائم على المستشفى ذا جدوى، وقدَّم رؤى مهمة بشأن الخصائص الوبائية للأمراض السارية في إحدى المجتمعات الغربية في قطر.Mise en oeuvre d’un système de surveillance pour déterminer la charge des maladies transmissibles dans un établissement de santé au Qatar.La surveillance en milieu hospitalier s’est révélée utile afin de déterminer l’incidence des maladies infectieuses.Décrire les caractéristiques épidémiologiques de cas rapportés et les indicateurs d'exécution spécifiques du système de surveillance.Une étude descriptive des maladies transmissibles notifiées a été réalisée au sein du Cuban Hospital (Qatar) de janvier 2012 à décembre 2013. Une approche pluridimensionnelle de la surveillance des maladies transmissibles a été utilisée. Des informations ont été collectées sur les variables épidémiologiques, la confirmation en laboratoire et la date de notification. Nous avons calculé la proportion de cas avec confirmation en laboratoire, ainsi que les délais entre le rapport du médecin et la notification au Conseil Supérieur de la santé (CSS).1065 patients au total ont été signalés ; dont 802 (75,3 %) hommes d’une moyenne d’âge de 33,2 ans (écart type 15,4). Une prédominance de cas provenait d’Asie du Sud-Est (41,5 %) et de la Région de la Méditerranée orientale (16,7 %). Cinq cent trente-neuf (539) cas de syndrome de type grippal, 186 cas de maladies infectieuses de la peau, 66 cas de gale, 48 cas impliquant des micro-organismes multirésistants et 39 cas de diarrhées d’origine présumée infectieuse ont été enregistrés. Une augmentation régulière des confirmations en laboratoire a été observée (moyenne de 59,3 %). Le délai de notification au CSS était de 1,88 (2,9) jours.Le système de surveillance mis en oeuvre en milieu hospitalier était réalisable et fournissait des indications importantes sur les caractéristiques épidémiologiques des maladies transmissibles au sein d’une communauté occidentale du Qatar.

Global COVID-19 pandemic containment necessitates understanding the risk of hesitance or resistance to vaccine uptake in different populations. The Middle East and North Africa currently lack vital representative vaccine hesitancy data. We conducted the first representative national phone survey among the adult population of Qatar, between December 2020 and January 2021, to estimate the prevalence and identify potential determinants of vaccine willingness: acceptance (strongly agree), resistance (strongly disagree), and hesitance (somewhat agree, neutral, somewhat disagree). Bivariate and multinomial logistic regression models estimated associations between willingness groups and fifteen variables. In the total sample, 42.7% (95% CI: 39.5–46.1) were accepting, 45.2% (95% CI: 41.9–48.4) hesitant, and 12.1% (95% CI: 10.1–14.4) resistant. Vaccine resistant compared with hesistant and accepting groups reported no endorsement source will increase vaccine confidence (58.9% vs. 5.6% vs. 0.2%, respectively). Female gender, Arab ethnicity, migrant status/type, and vaccine side-effects concerns were associated with hesitancy and resistance. COVID-19 related bereavement, infection, and quarantine status were not significantly associated with any willingness group. Absence of or lack of concern about contracting the virus was solely associated with resistance. COVID-19 vaccine resistance, hesitance, and side-effects concerns are high in Qatar’s population compared with those globally. Urgent public health engagement should focus on women, Qataris (non-migrants), and Arab ethnicity.

Background: As pharmacists continue to transition into the provision of public health care, physical assessment and disease screening will become part of their everyday practice, in a similar manner that it has been for doctors and nurses. Objective: The aim was to describe the health assessment of undergraduate curricula across three disciplines involved in public health care and to explore the students’ perceived training in a variety of health assessments. Method: Instructors of courses related to health assessment in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy colleges in Qatar were invited to participate in the curriculum review process. Students’ perceived training in a variety of health assessments was assessed using a self-administered survey. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the survey responses. Results: A narrative description for the similarities and differences in the health assessment curricula across the three colleges was provided. Blood pressure, heart rate, and heart sounds were the health assessments that almost all students received training on, although there were differences in where the training was delivered. The health assessments that the students perceived having received least training on were measuring bone mineral density, blood cholesterol and international normalized ratio reported by only 37%, 41% and 44% of students, respectively. Conclusion: The study identified a close alignment between each of the health discipline’s scope of practice and the health assessment content taught in each individual program. It also identified possible curricular gaps towards learning the skills of patient assessment that may need to be addressed.

The finger of blame for the serious outbreak of a new strain of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli that has killed 22 people and made more than 2300 ill, mainly in Europe, has been pointed at several food sources. And, as of June 7, while the cause of the infection remains unclear, one thing is apparent: communication surrounding the outbreak has been haphazard at best, dismal at worst. On May 22, Germany first reported a substantial increase in patients with haemolytic uraemic syndrome and bloody diarrhoea caused by Shiga-toxin-producing E coli. 4 days later, health authorities in Hamburg (the outbreak's epicentre) and Germany's Robert Koch Institute said that a case-control study pointed to cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy salads as possible culprits and they advised consumers to avoid these vegetables. On the same day, health authorities in Hamburg erroneously declared that cucumbers grown in Spain could be the source of the outbreak. Panic and confusion ensued, resulting in headlines about “killer cucumbers” and harsh decisions by some countries. Russia banned imports of fresh vegetables from the whole of the European Union on June 2. The United Arab Emirates and Qatar also issued import bans for some European countries. Then, on June 5, agriculture officials in Germany's northern state of Lower Saxony announced that locally grown bean sprouts could be the cause of the outbreak and advised Germans not to eat this vegetable. On June 7, however, Germany was unsure that bean sprouts were to blame. Coordination of the German public health response seems to have been utterly absent. But one should also ask: where was the European Centres of Disease Prevention and Control? Set up in 2005, the centre aims to work “in close collaboration with the Member States and the [European] Commission to promote the necessary coherence in the risk communication process on health threats”. From the public's point of view, no visible collaboration seems to have taken place. The latest events in Germany point to a chronic predicament facing many European institutions. Although a European spirit of cooperation is welcome and apparent, its practice often falls far short of expectations. Once this immediate crisis subsides, there is a strong case for a European-wide review of national and continental responses to infectious disease outbreaks. Europe can do much better. Germany reels in the wake of E coli outbreakHealth officials in Germany have been scrambling to find the source of an enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli outbreak, which has made thousands of people ill.

The COVID-19 Forecasting Team's systematic review and meta-analysis indicated a high protective effect of past SARS-CoV-2 infection against re-infection with pre-omicron variants.1COVID-19 Forecasting TeamPast SARS-CoV-2 infection protection against re-infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.Lancet. 2023; 401: 833-842Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar As an interested reader of this study, I suggest a more cautious interpretation of the current findings due to potential sources of bias in the risk of re-infection assessment. First, individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 might engage in high-risk activities due to their belief in natural immunity.2Mori T Nagata T Ikegami K et al.Effect of COVID-19 infection related experiences on social behaviors when a state of emergency is declared: a cohort study.BMC Public Health. 2022; 222445Crossref Scopus (0) Google Scholar, 3Hansen CH Michlmayr D Gubbels SM Mølbak K Ethelberg S Assessment of protection against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 among 4 million PCR-tested individuals in Denmark in 2020: a population-level observational study.Lancet. 2021; 397: 1204-1212Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (398) Google Scholar This increased risk-taking behaviour makes previously infected people more susceptible to a subsequent infection and their lower likelihood to test again could further lead to an overestimation of the protective effect of infection.3Hansen CH Michlmayr D Gubbels SM Mølbak K Ethelberg S Assessment of protection against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 among 4 million PCR-tested individuals in Denmark in 2020: a population-level observational study.Lancet. 2021; 397: 1204-1212Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (398) Google Scholar Second, policy changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic can influence infection risk at the population level, which varies between countries. Rapid relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions could increase the risk of re-infection and therefore underestimate the protective effect of previous infection when compared with countries with slower relaxation measures. This difference in the pace of relaxation of restrictions could potentially lead to biased estimation of the effect of previous infection in different directions.4Talic S Shah S Wild H et al.Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and COVID-19 mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis.BMJ. 2021; 375e068302PubMed Google Scholar Finally, it is important to consider demographic differences among included studies, such as age distribution (eg, Qatar has a substantial younger population5Abu-Raddad LJ Chemaitelly H Ayoub HH et al.Characterizing the Qatar advanced-phase SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.Sci Rep. 2021; 11: 1-15Crossref Scopus (55) Google Scholar), when generalising the findings. As a study that integrates available evidence, it is worth addressing these potential sources of bias and their impact on the current analyses. I declare no competing interests. Past SARS-CoV-2 infection protection against re-infection: a systematic review and meta-analysisProtection from past infection against re-infection from pre-omicron variants was very high and remained high even after 40 weeks. Protection was substantially lower for the omicron BA.1 variant and declined more rapidly over time than protection against previous variants. Protection from severe disease was high for all variants. The immunity conferred by past infection should be weighed alongside protection from vaccination when assessing future disease burden from COVID-19, providing guidance on when individuals should be vaccinated, and designing policies that mandate vaccination for workers or restrict access, on the basis of immune status, to settings where the risk of transmission is high, such as travel and high-occupancy indoor settings.

In recent years, the impact that food production and consumption have had on the environment has received increasing international attention. Some food production practices and consumption behaviours are putting the environment under a great stress, contributing to climate change. The food sector accounts for around 30% of the world's total energy consumption and accounts for around 22% of total greenhouse gas emissions. With a world population expected to reach about 9 billion by 2050 and with continuing degradation of the planet's resources, how we produce and consume our food is becoming essential in the safeguarding of our planet. On May 20, 2017, a report by the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) was released on sustainable diets guidelines in Europe. On the basis of an analysis published in 2016, the report found that only two countries in Europe—Germany and Sweden—include sustainable recommendations in their dietary guidelines, with Brazil and Qatar being the best countries outside Europe. Others such as the UK and USA provide advice on sustainable diets, but do not have any governmental support policies. Traditionally, public health nutrition experts have been concerned with the association between nutrients and health outcomes. Poor diets in Europe are associated with high burdens of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Consumption of red and processed meats is especially associated with a higher burden of cancer. Conversely, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fish reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, the food we eat has also been associated with many environmental impacts, such as climate disruption and greenhouse gas emissions, excessive use of water, food waste, and ecosystem exploitation. Thus, today's nutritionists in the public health sector have to face new problems posed by the globalised food system. But what is sustainable food? And what can be done to achieve sustainable nutrition at international and national levels? Eating well is not only about the taste of the food but is also about a better understanding of how and where our food is produced, what the conditions of the people who produce the food are, and how long the food has travelled before is delivered to the table. Green farming for example has an important role in the reduction of environmental footprint by employing technologies that increase water efficiency, such as drip irrigation, and by storing energy through solar power technologies. Compared with conventional farming, which employs pesticides and fertilisers, diversified farming can increase biodiversity, protect the soil, and preserve ecosystems. Despite the fact that consumer demand for organic food is increasing, farmers are reluctant to switch their business to a more risky one given the lower yields achieved with organic farming. However, Clark and Tilman, publishing in Environmental Research Letters, showed that switching from conventional agricultural systems to alternatives such as organic agriculture would offer smaller environmental benefits than moving towards low impact foods such as plant-based ones, and an increase in agricultural input use efficiency. Important social and environmental benefits also result if the companies that produce and market the foodstuffs act responsibly; for example, reduction of goods prices—a strategy put in place by many food companies to attract more consumers—can result in unfair wages. Food miles are also an important aspect in the sustainability process of food production; people do not always consume locally produced food, but instead it has to travel from where it is produced and the environmental impact can be huge. At the same time, not always producing the food locally can have positive environmental impacts; unfavourable climate conditions might incentivise extreme agricultural practices with a consequent impact on the environment. Consumption of plant-based foods and promotion of local food together with reduction of food waste, consumption of fish only from sustainable stocks, and reduction of consumption of red and processed meat, are some of the recommendations adopted by Sweden and Germany that other countries should follow according to the report. Nutrition and sustainability are of high priority in the global political agenda and their importance is reflected by the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals; in particular goals 2, 3, 12, and 14. Sustainable healthy nutrition should be promoted through implementation of strategies and policies at both European Union and nation level. Governments, local authorities, farmers, environmentalists, representatives of the food industry, retail organisations, catering organisations, marketing teams, the media, academia, and non-governmental organisations should all ally to sustainably feed an ever-growing world population.

Little is known about how armed conflict attenuates established public healthcare systems. Politics aside, Libya has been justifiably feted as one of the world's great success stories in public health. Its ability to deliver low cost healthcare with good outcomes is held as a model for other developing countries. The most cursory examination of the evidence from the UN's Human Development Index strongly supports this. On life expectancy alone, Libya is ranked 53rd at 74.5 (compared to 59.8 in 1980). This is above Russia (65th) and Brazil (73rd) and well above their neighbours Algeria (84th) and Egypt (101st). Under-five infant mortality rates also illustrate the robustness of the system with a rate of 17 per 1000. In comparison, the under-five infant mortality rate for Egypt is 23, for the most prosperous African state Nigeria it is 186, and for the conflict-ridden state of DR Congo it is 199. The public gains by Libya are also particularly noteworthy when one considers that the Arab world, despite its resources, has underachieved in public health terms. The reasons for this, outlined in the Arab Human Development Report of 2002, is that while some Arab countries have also achieved similar public health gains, e.g. Qatar, others such as Yemen with an under-five infant mortality rate of 66 per 1000, have not.
But all this is changing. The conflict in Libya is already altering mortality and morbidity rates as well as degrading public healthcare systems. While research on healthcare systems in post-conflict countries is well developed, little is known on how armed conflict degrades established functioning systems. One of the problems of defining what the post-conflict needs will be in Libya is the paucity of empirical research in many of these areas, despite the work already conducted in countries such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Chad, Lebanon, Sri Lanka and the West Bank. Public health is not short of theoretical models but actionable research from the ground to support the post-conflict reconstruction of Libya's public health system is seriously lacking.
Looking further afield it is clear from policy failures in Kosovo and Afghanistan that an evidence-based national health policy framework at the very beginning of post-war reconstruction is absolutely essential; leave it too late and the consequences are grave.1 However, while we have real-life general learning points from these conflicts they are no substitute for country-specific data. It is essential that research on the impact of the conflict on the Libyan healthcare system begins immediately. The desk-based public health risk assessment and interventions study published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March (WHO/HSE/GAR/DCE/2011.1) is insufficient in scope and detail to deliver the necessary healthcare systems intelligence required for post-conflict reconstruction. A research ‘hot team’ using, for example, WHO's six essential inputs for a functioning healthcare system (Table 1),2 and a local skilled cadre could quickly and efficiently deliver such intelligence.
Table 1
Immediate actions for assessing and strengthening public health in Libya (based on the WHO designated six primary inputs as essential for functioning health systems)
The rebel Transitional National Council (TNC), now widely recognized as the legitimate government of Libya, has already endorsed rebuilding the healthcare systems in ways that strengthen equitable service capacity and the removal of barriers of access to care. Yet post-conflict countries face daunting economic and social challenges. We know from other conflicts that deterioration in public health is not due only to the direct effects of conflict. Long after the cessation of hostilities, ‘indirect’ mortality due to the disruption of livelihoods, inadequate food and water supplies, and the destruction of health systems, as well as to continued insecurity, continues to exert a downward pressure on health indices and/or causes stagnation. Yet conflict damage to public health systems is also due to the destruction of clinical infrastructure and the effect on healthcare professional human capital. While there has already been significant emigration from Libya there are no data yet on who has left the country nor what will be the long-term effect on healthcare professionals. Various scenarios are possible, but from studies of other African countries, the longer a conflict endures the more the healthcare system narrows to focus on the acute needs and delivery of care to support the conflict at the expense of all other domains of health.3
There are many unknowns that need to be acknowledged. The trajectory of the post-conflict environment has yet to play out and, unlike many other conflict states that were already fragile, Libya has a strong infrastructure and a ready source of capital. The danger is that Libya may well yet descend, as has been the case in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict into a state of chronic conflict with acute and constant insecurities. We know from studies of Afghanistan, Algeria, Chad, Lebanon and Sri Lanka4 that this drives substantial inequalities in healthcare with the rural poor relying on local primary care and the healthier, urban populations accessing secondary and tertiary facilities. Insecurity will only exacerbate this inequality. An even worse scenario would be the continued low intensity conflict that slowly erodes the national architecture leading to a ‘fragile’ state. In terms of preparation, some eventualities are more likely. For instance in post-conflict settings there is invariably a peak in violent deaths due to the combined effect of deprivation and the increased ‘weaponisation’ of the public. In policy terms, prior knowledge of these ‘highly likely’ trajectories is important to manage expectations and implement solutions. This avoids reactive politics when these problems are inevitably highlighted.
Advanced planning for the post-conflict period needs to be integrated not only with the lead countries – UK, France, USA, et cetera – but also with the myriad of humanitarian agencies that will be part of this process. In an ideal world this would involve a single integrated operational public health plan. Whatever course is adopted there is an urgent need to conduct this research now to provide long-term solutions and develop new approaches to public health in the post-conflict environment both in Libya and further afield.

Objectives The study explores the awareness and e-cigarette use by demographic and socio-economic characteristics of selected 14 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) countries. Design Cross-sectional. Setting 14 countries. Participants Surveyed population ≥15 years selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Primary and secondary outcome measures We selected 14 countries from 6 different WHO regions where GATS was conducted in different years during 2011–2017. Results Awareness and usage of e-cigarette were highest in Greece and lowest in India. Females were less aware of e-cigarette across ages. The gender gap in awareness is wide in Greece post 50 years of age, while the gap is distinct in early ages in Kazakhstan and Qatar. The gender difference in use of e-cigarette was negligible in most of the countries except among the younger cohorts of Russia, Philippines Malaysia and Indonesia. Relatively higher prevalence of e-cigarette smoking among females in the older adult age was observed in some of the Asian countries like India. Multivariate analysis indicates that those who were younger, male, residing in urban areas, current tobacco smokers were more likely to use e-cigarette than their counterparts. Though prevalence of e-cigarette use increased with wealth and education, such pattern is not strong and consistent. Promotional advertisement plays important role in higher use of e-cigaratte. The predicted national prevalence of e-ciragette use was highest in Malaysia . Conclusions E-cigarette use is more among urban adults, current smokers, males and in countries with promotional advertisement of e-cigarette. Area specific interventions are needed to understand the nature of e-cigarette use. Russia, Ukraine, Costa Rica and Mexico need better understanding to explore whether e-cigaratte use is an indulgence to new mode of addiction, as youth being highly likely to adopt this practice.

Dear Editor, The ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 hosted by Qatar is one of the most popular and largest international mass gathering (MG) sports events in the world1. Genomic investigations over the past year have revealed cryptic, ominous transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, monkeypox, poliovirus, influenza, and antibiotic-resistant microbes at MG events. Qatar’s public health authorities have spent a lot of time and effort preparing and planning to ensure the health and safety of millions of international and national spectators, athletes, and organizers. However, there are still several major public health challenges, both perceived and real, that threaten global health security. The FIFA World Cup in 2022 is taking place during the ongoing global outbreaks of coronavirus disease 2019, monkeypox, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and drug-resistant tuberculosis, among others. Recently, a new hybrid virus formed from fusion of influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus is a worrying development2. Therefore, the risk of transmission of infectious diseases, amplification, and local and international spread of known and unknown pathogens during and after the FIFA World Cup remains significant. Historically, pathogens transmitted by the waterborne and fecal-oral routes have been evaluated through wastewater-based surveillance (WBS)3. Wastewater surveillance is more sensitive and cost-effective than clinical or epidemiological surveillance4. WBS was used in the polio eradication effort and has most recently been used for tracking the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and its variants2. In particular, there is no consensus on wastewater monitoring techniques and standardized global protocols for collecting and analyzing data4. There remains an urgent need to develop a global consensus for standardized global guidelines for sampling methods, sample pretreatment, and quantification, which is very practical at these times. WBS for pre-empting potential disease outbreaks could provide crucial information when used together with rapid detection laboratory techniques such as genomics and biosensors5,6. Early detection of disease outbreaks during MG events provides host countries with unique opportunities to develop evidence-based decisions for timely scientific-based public health interventions. Since a sample of wastewater reflects the entire contributing population, wastewater-based epidemiology can be used to learn about the spread of gastrointestinal and other viruses at the community level without the need to test many people7. Independent of the appearance of clinical symptoms or socioeconomic biases related to case reporting, WBS has been shown to be effective in detecting infection and transmission in the population. Adopting wastewater surveillance for infectious diseases during the FIFA World Cup 2022 and other future MG events could serve as an important tool to early alert the host country and global public health authorities (Fig. 1). Movements of attendees of MG events across Qatari municipalities should be wastewater-based epidemiology-based decisions, and consequent vaccination, countermeasures, and nonpharmaceutical interventions could be required. The wastewater-based epidemiology enabled Qatar officials to conduct a health survey during tournament days at a community level. Furthermore, it would give other countries an indication of potential pathogens being brought in by returning travelers8. WBS provides a powerful platform for detecting emerging and re-emerging viruses, antimicrobial resistance pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance genes. Its potential to alert host countries and global health authorities to imminent or emerging waterborne disease will add further to preparedness and proactive prevention control plans in place. Ultimately, this perspective is novel for MGs in the midst of mega sporting events, which should be further studied and considered.Figure 1: Wastewater surveillance as an epidemiological tool amidst the mega sporting events.Ethical approval Not applicable.

Abstract Background The concept of global citizenship aims to prepare learners to be able to function and be competitive within a global environment. Successful learners may effectively “think globally” but “act locally,” aiming to contribute to positive global change. Objective The goal of this project was to develop research‐informed curricular content for global citizenship tailored to pharmacy students using a pre‐established pedagogical framework. The intended learning outcome for the content was for students to “generate local responses to global problems for a more peaceful and sustainable world.” Methods This study occurred over three phases. Phase 1 consisted of semi‐structured interviews with practicing pharmacists in Brazil (n = 4), Canada (n = 4), New Zealand (n = 4), and Qatar (n = 4) to identify global issues for case development. Phase 2 consisted of pilot testing developed cases from Phase 1 via individual interviews with target students in Canada (n = 2) and a focus group in New Zealand (n = 5). Phase 3 consisted of implementation of a 1.5‐hours teaching event in New Zealand using the refined case material and formative assessment of final‐year pharmacy students (n = 120). Results Phase 1 resulted in five case scenarios (antimicrobial resistance, drug shortages, ocean pollution, climate change, and rise of nationalism) across three categories (global health and wellbeing, climate and environment, and geopolitics and power) that were tested and refined in Phase 2. Phase 3 resulted in student groups being able to achieve the intended learning outcome on a median of 4 (range, 2‐5) of the developed cases. Students' interventions included new dispensing models, use of technology, community engagement, education initiatives, and others. Conclusion Findings support the notion that when tasked to “think globally,” students are able to “act locally” by designing pharmacy practice interventions to reduce the impact of political, environmental, and health‐related global problems.

Aims To predict the epidemiological impact of specific, and primarily structural public health interventions that address lifestyle, dietary, and commuting behaviors of Qataris as well as subsidies and legislation to reduce type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) burden among Qataris. Methods A deterministic population-based mathematical model was used to investigate the impact of public health interventions on the epidemiology of T2DM among Qataris aged 20–79 years, which is the age range typically used by the International Diabetes Federation for adults. The study evaluated the impact of interventions up to 2050, a three-decade time horizon, to allow for the long-term effects of different types of interventions to materialize. The impact of each intervention was evaluated by comparing the predicted T2DM incidence and prevalence with the intervention to a counterfactual scenario without intervention. The model was parameterized using representative data and stratified by sex, age, T2DM risk factors, T2DM status, and intervention status. Results All intervention scenarios had an appreciable impact on reducing T2DM incidence and prevalence. A lifestyle management intervention approach, specifically applied to those who are categorized as obese and ≥35 years old, averted 9.5% of new T2DM cases by 2050. An active commuting intervention approach, specifically increasing cycling and walking, averted 8.5% of new T2DM cases by 2050. Enhancing consumption of healthy diets including fruits and vegetables, specifically a workplace intervention involving dietary modifications and an educational intervention, averted 23.2% of new T2DM cases by 2050. A subsidy and legislative intervention approach, implementing subsidies on fruits and vegetables and taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages, averted 7.4% of new T2DM cases by 2050. A least to most optimistic combination of interventions averted 22.8–46.9% of new T2DM cases by 2050, respectively. Conclusions Implementing a combination of individual-level and structural public health interventions is critical to prevent T2DM onset and to slow the growing T2DM epidemic in Qatar.

Background: The harmful effects of smoking during pregnancy on the health of the mother, fetus and newborn have been well documented in the literature. These include, low birth weight, prematurity and still birth. The negative effect of smoking on health is not restricted to active smokers as studies have shown that exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) during pregnancy also poses risks on the mother and the fetus. To our knowledge there has not yet been any study that researched exposure to SHS among Qatari pregnant women. Objectives: The objectives are: 1) to estimate the prevalence and associated factors related to exposure to SHS during pregnancy among Qatari women and 2) to estimate the level of knowledge of health risks and attitudes towards tobacco smoking. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a convenience sample of Qatari pregnant women was done at the Women's Hospital which is the main hospital for deliveries for Hamad Medical Corporation, the largest health service provider in Qatar. We targeted pregnant women both in public and private clinics inside the hospital. A total of 357 women were approached and data were collected on 305 women, yielding a response rate of 85.4%. Data collection took place between January 2012 and May 2012. Results: A very high proportion (81%) responders reported exposure to SHS. Exposure outside the house was higher than that inside the house. Husbands were the main source of exposure to SHS inside the house and restaurants and cafés were the main places of exposure outside the house. Although women's knowledge about the harmful effects of exposure to SHS was high it was not associated with exposure status. Being in a smoke free house was a protective factor against exposure to SHS. Conclusion: Pregnant women, their fetus and new born are in danger due to exposure to SHS. Public health awareness interventions should target pregnant women and in particular their husbands. Moreover, there should be stricter implementation of smoking bans in restaurants and cafés.

All 146 members of the World Trade Organization now appear to have agreed that patent rights should no longer stop poor nations from obtaining the drugs they need to prevent and treat disease. In an agreement reached in Geneva on Aug 30, the WTO membership accepted a declaration stating that poor nations unable to produce the drugs they need to address their public-health problems can waive the intellectual property provisions of WTO rules and import low-cost generic drugs from abroad. Previously, WTO allowed member countries to license companies to make patented products or use patented processes without the permission of the patent owner if the products were needed to address important public-health problems, an action known as “compulsory licensing”. However, under WTO rules, drugs manufactured through compulsory licensing had to be produced predominantly for domestic use and not for export. This meant that poor nations, most of which do not have the capacity to produce modern pharmaceuticals, could not obtain the drugs they needed by arranging compulsory licensing in another country from which the drugs could then be imported. Under the new agreement, member countries will be able to use compulsory licensing to produce drugs for export to poor nations that lack the capacity to manufacture sufficient quantities of the needed drugs at home. Not everyone is happy with the new agreement. A number of non-governmental organisations, such as Médicins Sans Frontières and the Consumer Project on Technology, which have long campaigned for greater access to medicines for the developing world, have condemned the agreement, arguing that it places such burdensome regulations on compulsory licensing that it will make it harder, not easier, for developing nations to get the drugs they need. Industry says the regulations are needed to keep unscrupulous manufacturers from flooding western markets with cheap generic drugs made in the developing world under compulsory licensing. Critics are also concerned about wording in the agreement emphasising that the new agreement's provisions apply to drugs “needed to address the public health problems as recognised in paragraph 1” of the Doha Declaration, which came out of WTO Ministerial Conferences held in Doha, Qatar in November, 2001. In that declaration, the ministers recognised “the gravity of the public health problems afflicting many developing and least-developed countries, especially those resulting from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other epidemics”. The concern among some activists is that this wording was put in place so that pharmaceutical companies will be able to argue that the new compulsory licensing rules apply only to these three diseases and the occasional infectious disease outbreak. Such a narrow interpretation of the new agreement cannot be accepted. The wording of the Doha Declaration clearly indicates that the purpose of the statement is to address all the public-health problems facing these nations, of which HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria are dramatic examples. Although these diseases are clearly major issues that must be addressed, many diseases that have long plagued wealthy nations—such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease—are fast becoming major public-health issues in the developing world as well. According to WHO figures, for example, most of the global burden of cardiovascular disease now occurs in the developing world. A heart patient in a poor nation has just as much a right to effective drug treatment as does a patient with malaria, tuberculosis, or HIV/AIDS. Now that the members of WTO have agreed to relax the restrictions on compulsory licensing, developing countries, with the help of WHO, need to begin to develop expanded formularies of essential drugs that will enable them to provide their populations with cost-effective therapies that can prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other so-called “diseases of affluence”, including treatments that may now be under patent. At the same time, it is critical that more be done to improve the health-care delivery systems in these countries so that when these drugs become available they will go where they are needed and be properly used.

Until 9 September 2022, 57 527 cases of monkeypox were reported across 103 countries [[1]Centers for Disease Control and PreventionGlobal map & case count.https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/world-map.htmlDate: 2022Google Scholar], prompting the World Health Organization to declare it a global public health emergency [[2]World Health Organization WHO director-general declares the ongoing monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/23-07-2022-who-director-general-declares-the-ongoing-monkeypox-outbreak-a-public-health-event-of-international-concernGoogle Scholar]. To date, its spread has disproportionately affected men who are gay, men who are bi-sexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) [[3]Thornhill J.P. Barkati S. Walmsley S. Rockstroh J. Antinori A. Harrison L.B. et al.Monkeypox virus infection in humans across 16 countries—april–June 2022.N Engl J Med. 2022; 387: 679-691https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2207323Crossref PubMed Scopus (244) Google Scholar] and who have no recent travel history to countries where monkeypox is endemic, suggesting its spread through intimate or sexual networks [[4]Liu X. Zhu Z. He Y. Lim J.W. Lane B. Wang H. et al.Monkeypox claims new victims: the outbreak in men who have sex with men.Infect Dis Poverty. 2022; 11: 1-3https://doi.org/10.1186/s40249-022-01007-6Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar]. Sexual behaviours which confer the risk of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) acquisition increase the risk of acquiring other sexually transmitted infections [[5]Stenger M.R. Pathela P. Schumacher C. Burghardt N. Amiya R. Madera R. et al.Trends in HIV prevalence by self-report among MSM diagnosed and reported with gonorrhea in six United States jurisdictions from 2010 to 2019.AIDS. 2021; 35: 2523-2530https://doi.org/10.1097/QAD.0000000000003067Crossref PubMed Scopus (2) Google Scholar], and the risk of contracting monkeypox is similarly increased. People with advanced and uncontrolled HIV infection are at a greater risk of severe or prolonged monkeypox disease when infected with the virus [[6]Yinka-Ogunleye A. Aruna O. Dalhat M. Ogoina D. McCollum A. Disu Y. et al.Outbreak of human monkeypox in Nigeria in 2017–18: a clinical and epidemiological report.Lancet Infect Dis. 2019; 19: 872-879https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(19)30294-4Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (178) Google Scholar]. Social interactivity has contributed to a greater risk of monkeypox transmission and led to further suppression of homo-sexuality, especially in countries where it is illegal. One such country is Iran. Institutions in Iran remain strongly opposed to homo-sexuality, leading to negative propaganda, rejection by the society and families and internalization of this stigma by gay men, leading to an ego-dystonic mindset and the promotion of pseudo-scientific therapies by health professionals [[7]Kabir A. Nazareth I. Conversion therapy: a violation of human rights in Iranian gay men.Lancet Psychiat. 2022; 9: e19https://doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(22)00070-0Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (2) Google Scholar]. The government-led media in Iran has used the outbreak of monkeypox to promote hatred, which has intensified homo-phobia, discrimination and stigma against MSM. This, together with forthcoming mass gatherings, Hajj and Umrah 2022 in Saudi Arabia and Qatar World Cup 2022, has increased concerns among Iranian public health professionals about the spread of monkeypox. Hence, we propose the need for the following in Iran:1.Utilize 150 sites used for HIV infection treatment for epidemiologic surveillance, contact tracing and isolation of cases, testing, patient care and accurate provision of information on monkeypox.2.Consider the diagnosis of monkeypox in all patients who are MSM with characteristic presentations and adopt a non-discriminatory, evidence-based approach for their management.3.Adhere to World Health Organization and Human Rights Organization guidance in Iran that gay, bi-sexuals and MSM seek medical care and receive vaccinations without stigmatisation.4.MSM should limit sexual contact to one partnership to significantly minimize monkeypox transmission.5.Special consideration is given to people with HIV infection through surveillance and testing and through prioritization for receiving monkeypox vaccination.6.Monkeypox should be aggressively managed in persons with HIV infection based on the severity of the disease and degree of immunosuppression.7.Avoid stigmatizing language and re-inforcing homo-phobic stereotypes through the following: A. Workshops, training and dissemination of policy guidelines and educational materials, such as posters on evidence-based infection control. B. An integrated approach to health care based on a human rights framework and delivered in partnership as is done for people living with HIV infection. C. Interventions in the health-care setting using interactive modular training focusing on medical ethics, limiting stigma and promoting infection control through regular contact as is done for people with HIV infection.

“Qatar: world's fattest country…”, “Childhood Obesity Rates in Israel Similar to United States…”, “Gulf states world ‘heavyweight’ contenders”, “Mexico Obesity Rate Knocks America Out Of Number One Spot”. This is just a selection of recent headlines about countries threatening to top the charts as the country with the highest obesity prevalence. As obesity spreads, type 2 diabetes follows closely in its wake. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, diabetes (with type 2 diabetes the most prevalent) had leapt to the ninth greatest cause of death. 80% of people with diabetes live in low-income or middle-income countries, many of which are still struggling to cope with diseases of poverty: malnutrition, infectious diseases, and high maternal and neonatal mortality. Adding an inexorable rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and exponential population growth into this mix could be devastating for the fragile health systems of these countries. The knowledge that lifestyle factors are at the heart of this new scourge seems unable to turn the tide. Some patients can achieve diabetes remission through changes to lifestyle, and physicians should continue to promote such approaches. However, for most patients, effective, safe treatments that prevent complications are also required. For those in developing countries, it is essential that these treatments are available and affordable. Prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes will remain the most effective measure, and public health initiatives and strong political will are urgently needed to change the obesogenic environment. Unfortunately, there are as yet no examples of public health interventions that have proven effective at the population level. But it is time we stopped using the need for positive results from studies as a reason for political inertia. Politicians globally should take inspiration from the Latin American countries that have recently proposed legislation to promote healthy eating in children, and researchers should mobilise to collect data from these initiatives to ensure their widest future applicability. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are arguably the biggest challenges for the endocrinology community at present, but other areas of the specialty are of great importance to human health and bring their success stories. It is over 100 years since insulin was discovered and 91 years since it was first used, to dramatic effect, in a child with type 1 diabetes. Since then, investments in new insulin analogues and delivery methods have allowed people with this condition to survive and thrive. Now, use of immunotherapy to prevent the destruction of β cells early in the disease course is on the horizon and offers a tentative hope of cure. Juxtaposed with this optimism is the knowledge that the global incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising and many children in developing countries are dying for lack of insulin; according to the International Diabetes Federation, 80 000–100 000 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes around the world are in urgent need of assistance. Treatment has also improved the lives of many of the estimated 200 million people with thyroid disease in the world. Research efforts are expanding into assessment of optimum treatment for those with subclinical thyroid disease. On the other side of the coin, action is necessary to ensure adequate iodine intake for pregnant women to prevent mental retardation in their children. It is a tragedy that, in developing countries, 38 million newborn babies each year are affected by deficiency of this simple nutrient. A success story of modern society is the survival of people into old age. But, in addition to diabetes and its complications, ageing is accompanied by disorders—eg, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and dementia—that could have endocrine causes and treatments. Endocrinological research has already begun to unlock the pathophysiology of ageing diseases, and will undoubtedly form an important avenue of research into their prevention and treatment. Onto this stage steps The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. We will publish in all areas of clinical endocrinology, obesity, and metabolism. Our aim is to communicate the work and views that are essential to deliver effective public health measures and develop new treatments for endocrine disorders and their devastating complications. The world's population is heading towards a crossroads at which diseases of poverty could potentially be left behind, but the spectre of non-communicable diseases looms in the distance. We believe that the endocrinology, obesity, metabolism, and public health communities can join forces to steer a path towards a new horizon; we hope to be your partner in the journey ahead.

Qatar Biobank (QBB), the first very large scale, long-term public biorepository in Qatar, is designed to build a powerful research infrastructure for future investigations of the lifestyle, metabolic and genetic risk factors for the most frequent medical conditions in Qatar, namely diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, obesity and cancer. Qatar Biobank's recruitment approach provides a model for public involvement in biomedical research. Through inviting the public to contribute, Qatar Biobank promotes Qatar as dedicated to raising awareness and committed to engaging the community in shaping the health of their future generations. During the pilot phase, between December 2012 and June 2013, 503 participants have completed their baseline visit at the QBB Center. 67.9% of participants are Qatari nationals, the remaining are Qatar long term residents (> 15 years). There is a balanced participation of males (51.8%) and females (48.2%). Attitudes, perceptions and feedback are captured through a structured post-appointment participant questionnaire. Analysis of the feedback shows that upon giving consent the highest area of concern for participants is providing blood samples (47%), a further (46%) demonstrate concern over the physical measurements and (39%) are uneasy with contributing urine samples. An overwhelming (96%) of participants rate their experience at Qatar Biobank as very positive. A significant proportion (72%) of participants decide to contribute to Qatar Biobank due to word of mouth recommendations from friends (41.4%) and family (30.4%) emphasizing that the majority of participants value and enjoy their experience and are empowered to actively recruit within their communities.

The health of the 164 million migrant workers worldwide is understudied;1International Labour OrganizationILO global estimates on international migrant workers. International Labour Organization, Geneva2018Google Scholar only 6·2% of the literature on global migration published between 2000 and 2016 has examined the health of migrant workers.2Sweileh WM Wickramage K Pottie K et al.Bibliometric analysis of global migration health research in peer-reviewed literature (2000–2016).BMC Public Health. 2018; 18: 777Crossref PubMed Scopus (93) Google Scholar The important systematic review by Sally Hargreaves and colleagues (July, 2019),3Hargreaves S Rustage K Nellums LB et al.Occupational health outcomes among international migrant workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.Lancet Glob Health. 2019; 7: e872-e882Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (105) Google Scholar summarises the global prevalence of occupational morbidity in migrant workers and reports on employment sector, country of origin, country of employment, occupational health outcomes, and design of the studies included.

Understanding the role of gender in the occupational hazards of migrant workers is crucial. The International Labour Organization1International Labour OrganizationILO global estimates on international migrant workers. International Labour Organization, Geneva2018Google Scholar estimates that there are more male than female migrant workers globally, with the proportion of male migrant workers increasing from 55·7% in 2015 to 58·4% in 2018. At the national level, some countries (eg, Qatar) have even more skewed sex ratios, where four in five international migrant workers are male. The sex ratio of migrant workers reflects the gendered determinants of both migration and the division of labour. For low-skilled workers, men outnumber women in construction sectors, whereas women are more often employed as domestic household workers or in caregiving roles. “Certain occupational sectors could also be more representative of specific migrant groups (eg, employment of one sex or migrants from specific geographical regions), which might also be predictors of occupational risk or specific outcomes”, state Hargreaves and colleagues3Hargreaves S Rustage K Nellums LB et al.Occupational health outcomes among international migrant workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.Lancet Glob Health. 2019; 7: e872-e882Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (105) Google Scholar in their Discussion. The ways in which gender influences the health of international migrant workers warrants more attention; a minimum requirement would be to present sex-disaggregated data. In the information for authors' page, The Lancet Global Health4The LancetInformation for authors.https://www.thelancet.com/pb/assets/raw/Lancet/authors/tlgh-info-for-authors.pdfDate: 2019Date accessed: June 3, 2019Google Scholar recommends that authors, “where possible, report the sex and/or gender of study participants”, and it also explains that, “separate reporting of data by demographic variables, such as age and sex, facilitates pooling of data for subgroups across studies and should be routine, unless inappropriate”. These recommendations reflect the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines.5Heidari S Babor TF De Castro P et al.Sex and gender equity in research: rationale for the SAGER guidelines and recommended use.Res Integr Peer Rev. 2016; 1: 2Crossref PubMed Google Scholar For Hargreaves and colleagues,3Hargreaves S Rustage K Nellums LB et al.Occupational health outcomes among international migrant workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.Lancet Glob Health. 2019; 7: e872-e882Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (105) Google Scholar this would have meant including the sex-disaggregated data in their analysis and interpretation. If the analysis and presentation of sex-disaggregated data was not possible, its absence could have been mentioned as a limitation of the systematic review and as a consideration for future research. There seems to be a long way to go before gender-responsive analyses are standard practice. Such analyses are urgently warranted for improving the health of migrants who often work in highly gendered occupations. The recognition of gender and global health by researchers, funders, and journals is welcome, but it needs to be put into practice; the SAGER guidelines should not only be endorsed, they should also be implemented.

Occupational health outcomes among international migrant workers: a systematic review and meta-analysisInternational migrant workers are at considerable risk of work-related ill health and injury, and their health needs are critically overlooked in research and policy. Governments, policy makers, and businesses must enforce and improve occupational health and safety measures, which should be accompanied by accessible, affordable, and appropriate health care and insurance coverage to meet the care needs of this important working population. Full-Text PDF Open AccessOccupational health outcomes among international migrant workersIn their systematic review and meta-analysis, Sally Hargreaves and colleagues1 investigated the prevalence of occupational health outcomes (defined as any injury, mortality, or physical or psychiatric morbidity due to an individual's work or workplace environment) among international migrant workers. The findings could help governments, policy makers, and businesses to enforce and improve occupational health and safety measures. However, after carefully checking the data in figure 2,1 we identified several issues that should be highlighted. Full-Text PDF Open AccessOccupational health outcomes among international migrant workers – Author's replyWe thank Kristine Husøy Onarheim and colleagues for raising the role of gender in the occupational hazards of migrant workers, and how gender influences health. We would like to strongly emphasise that, to date, female migrant workers remain invisible to society and to researchers. As such, the rights and protection of migrant women (and girls) are commonly ignored in discussions about occupational health. Our study1 should serve to show that disaggregating results by gender will remain impossible until female workers are fully recognised by labour structures and by researchers.

Qatar, an oil-exporting country with a population of about 1.7 million, achieved the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the world in 2010. Total health expenditure as a percentage of GDP in 2010 in Qatar was 2.0%, with the government's share at 75% of the total health care budget. Hamad Medical Corporation hospitals and the independent public Qatar Primary Health Care PHC) centres are the main public health care service providers. PHC consists of 24 centres providing a wide range of health services. The PHC medicines list is a subset of the Hamad Medical Corporation medicine list. However, the PHC list of medicines could be improved both in its selection procedures and medicines included to correlate more directly to type of medical services provided by the Qatar PHC system in its different types of centres.

Road safety is a significant public health issue in the State of Qatar resulting in a huge humanitarian suffering for individuals, families, society and the government. Arab Gulf countries have a higher road accident fatality rate, highest is in Qatar, compared to North America and European countries. Qatar residents are five times more likely to die in vehicle accidents than from a stroke, representing the highest ratio in the world. The number of vehicle accidents has outpaced the country's population growth over the past 18 years. Average of 65 percent of deaths in Qatar, are among children aged 14 and younger are caused by road accidents. Fifty-four percent of all deaths among children under the age of four in Qatar is caused by traffic accidents. Such death rate in the country is three times higher than the global average among children. Qatar National Vision 2030 aims at reducing road accidents and improve safety through a holistic strategy of raised awareness, better safety measures and firmer laws that achieve several fundamental and crucial objectives. Improved protection of children and young people who are significantly overrepresented in fatality statistics has been identified as a basic objective for the country's national vision. The use of seatbelts and child restraints while travelling in a vehicle has been identified by the Qatari National Road Safety Strategy 2013-2022 as one of the primary ways of reducing death and injury. The national strategy will introduce high priority legislation on seatbelts in the rear of vehicles and the use of child restraints as a main action for seatbelt use.
Deaths due to car accidents can be considerably reduced by utilizing Baby/child seats and booster seats, for babies, toddlers and older children. The use of safety seats, that are specifically designed to guard babies or children in the occurrence of a crash, can decrease the risk of death among infants by 71 percent and among toddlers by 54 percent. Furthermore, the use of car safety seats can also decrease the threat of injury by 59 percent for children between the ages of four to seven. As with education around seat belt usage in Qatar, education campaigns on car safety seat usage must use a bottom-up rather than a top-down approach in order for them to be successful. In other words, current Qatar parental behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes about car safety seats should be studied as a basis for development of appropriate educational interventions related to their usage, rather than government or other interventions that have not been grounded in research that has been conducted on the residential population.
In order to design effective and comprehensive awareness and educational campaigns targeting parents and future parents in Qatar, it is necessary to understand current parental behaviors, knowledge and attitudes around car safety seat use or non-use. With a clear understanding of behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes it will be possible to develop educational interventions that will have the greatest potential to impact behaviors. In this study, the usage of car seats within the residence of Qatar with children currently under the age of 12 is evaluated in order to develop insight into this safety-related behavior that effects vulnerable road users (young children). The main objective of the study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of road safety culture and norms related to car seat usage by Qatari residents, a research topic that has not formerly been considered in the State of Qatar, in order to inform effective and comprehensive interventions to embolden car seat use, both legislative and educational. To achieve the study objective, a survey instrument was designed and utilized. The survey included a set of questions related to demographics (nationality, age, age of children, education level, etc.), a set of questions to assess parents’ car safety behaviors, a set of questions to assess parental knowledge of child passenger safety, and a set of questions to assess attitudes regarding the use of child safety seats. Since both Nationals and expats living in the country drive on the roads and the Qatar government is concerned with the safety of all children living in Qatar, a broad sample of Doha demographic was covered. The data was collected from a variety of parents living in Doha, such as Qatari nationals, Arab expats, European and North American expats, Asian expats, and others living in the country.
The study revealed low utilization rates of child safety seats amongst Qatari citizens, Asian and Arab expats. For those reported the usage of child safety seats, the percentage decreases with each additional child, and as the age of the child increases. It was found that despite parents acknowledging their substantial benefits for in-vehicle child protection, the mainstream behavior is to not use a child safety seat. The societal norm was also not to use safety seats. Furthermore, several behaviors were found to be associated with the use of safety seats as the use of seat belt by parents. This may indicate that the creation of mandatory car seat usage legislation in Qatar would not necessarily translate to compliance, as current seat belt law is disregarded. Another research recommendation is that immediate intervention research take place as it is vital to increase children safety seat usage in Qatar. An understanding of what would oblige more parents to use safety car seats is crucial.

No reliable research is currently available on consumer health information seekers in Qatar, their reasons for seeking it, or the quality and extent of this information. Thus very basic questions about health information delivery outside of the clinical setting need to be answered, such as the role that libraries and health associations can play in educating the public about health issues. This chapter provides a case study of one of the largest and most active nonclinical health associations in Qatar, The Qatar Cancer Society (QCS), a charitable nongovernmental organization established in 1997. Specialized librarians and libraries can potentially play an important role in information provision on health matters outside of the clinical setting and in collaboration with health organizations such as QCS.

Violence against children (VAC) is a critical public health issue that affects billions of children worldwide. The combination of its prevalence and severity of effects on children creates an urgent need for effective interventions. Multiple studies associate VAC with lifelong implications that affect children through adulthood. In Qatar, multiple approaches such as legislation are being used to protect children from all forms of violence. Despite the gravity of the issue, there is still low readiness for the prevention of VAC in Qatar. This review aimed to map approaches to addressing VAC in Qatar from the panelists' perspectives on current approaches to addressing VAC.The review obtained data from a recorded video entitled "A Public Health Approach to Addressing Violence Against Children." The panel discussion in this video clip was organized as a side event of the WISH virtual summit by UNICEF and WISH on World Children's Day, held in Qatar in November 2020. The video was transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.It shows the importance of both global and national level interventions in addressing VAC. The review uses the socioecological model to show relationships among different levels of interventions addressing VAC in Qatar. The findings highlight the national approaches to addressing VAC using public health, and legislative and policy approaches.The interventions addressing VAC at different levels in Qatar are interconnected. Delineating each level is key to the formation of holistic interventions that leverage global, regional, national, communal, familial, and individual factors that support interventions to address VAC.

Foodborne illness continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality both nationally and internationally. Protecting the human host from exposure to foodborne pathogens and reducing the incidence of foodborne illness are the central goals of established national food safety intervention program. Foodborne illness is a reportable disease in the State of Qatar. Protecting the food supply from the microbial risk of known foodborne pathogens is critical to national food security; particularly in the State of Qatar where the population has a high level of dependence on imported food. There are many surveillance activities utilized by local public health officials targeted at mitigating the risk associated with foodborne illness and improving food security. A risk based method of sampling high risk ready to eat foods in the State of Qatar is one such activity to monitor the distribution and incidence of hygiene indicators and pathogens in our food supply. Three common retail hypermarkets were chosen with high risk ready to eat foods items identified for inclusion in the study The aims of this paper are ;-To perform baseline surveillance of Ready to Eat Foods at the retail level in the State of Qatar. To identify ready to eat foods (RTE) which may pose a greater risk to the population in acquiring foodborne illness. To determine if gaps exist in the food safety surveillance system related to public health and hygiene. Sample collection was conducted at three retail hypermarkets in the State of Qatar over a one year period. The laboratory will utilize a variety of wet laboratory procedures - pre-enrichment, enrichment, selective isolation and confirmatory microbiological procedures according to the National Health Authority Central Laboratories-Microbiological Analytical Manual-1st Ed., 2008 on all food samples analyzed. All samples analyzed by the Central Food Laboratory were done in duplicate. There are no significant common foodborne pathogens infecting High Risk Ready to Eat foods from identified retail hypermarkets in the State of Qatar(E. coli 0157:H7, B. cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus). There is a statistical difference in levels of hygiene indicators (Enterobacteriaceae, SPC) by retail store location.

Introduction: School health services have the purpose of ensuring that all students are ready to learn by ascertaining that they are in good health. More than 2.3 billion school-aged children have been reported to spend a third of their days in the school environment1. Such findings underscore the need to establish school health centers (SHCs) that exclusively promote students’ physical, social, and psychological health of school children, yet currently non-existent in the State of Qatar. Aim: The present paper aims to propose the establishment of SHCs in Qatar, and to envision the impact of these comprehensively and uniquely designed Student Health Care Centers (SHCs) for school children health and wellbeing in Qatar. Student’s Health Center Design: Qatar prioritizes student’s health as part of its high-quality health care services. Qatar’s student health will benefit from establishment of comprehensive school health center services. Recommendation: This paper presents an SHC design that may be used in the State of Qatar. Identical SHC design may be applied in other countries also to improve the health, and quality of life among school children by creating a platform for rendering multidisciplinary health care services and health promotion to school children.

Since the commencement of the International Health Regulations (IHR, 2005) in 2007, global public health security has been faced with numerous emerging and ongoing events. Moreover, the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) is a voluntary tool developed in compliance with the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) that represents a reaction by the international health community towards the increased incidence of emerging and re-emerging diseases. Against this background, between 29th May and 2nd June 2016, a team of WHO consultants arrived to the State of Qatar to assess, in collaboration with national experts, the country's capacity to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to threats of public health aspect. They identified areas of strength, weakness, and recommendations for improving national health security of Qatar in anticipation of the 2022 World Cup event. Qatar has demonstrated a leading role in the region through its commitment to International Health Regulations (2005) and community. Similarly, the Qatar was the first Arab state and seventh volunteering country globally to undergo the JEE process. In this review, we highlighted Qatar's achievements and shortcomings of IHR core capacities to inform healthcare professionals and the scientific community about the country's contribution toward global health security.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic created challenges for the oil and gas industry. Qatar experienced three significant waves during the pandemic that disproportionately affected the workers in shared accommodation. In Australia, the public health measures limited the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the industry until the Omicron wave. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was assessed in five oil and gas subcontractors and five hospital subcontractors in Qatar between 21 June and 9 September 2020. Vaccine effectiveness was assessed in Qatar. Vaccine effectiveness in an LNG tanker crew off Gladstone was calculated. The initial study in Qatar included 4970 craft manual workers (CMWs) who were mostly men (95.0%). Infection positivity (antibody and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive) ranged from 62.5% (95% CI: 58.3–66.7%) to 83.8% (95% CI: 79.1–87.7%). Only five infections were severe and one was critical – an infection severity rate of 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1–0.4%). Rapid antibody tests (RATs) were effective in diagnosis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infections. Vaccine effectiveness against severe, critical or fatal infections were above 90% in both the Qatar and Australian studies, but protection against infection waned significantly after 6 months. In Qatar and Australia, the industry implemented effective control measures including the use of RATs, PCR tests, test, trace, isolation, quarantine (TTIQ) and vaccination. In both countries, the LNG industry collaborated with public health experts and other experts and was involved in research to assess and manage the risk of COVID-19. Production of LNG was not affected. Participation in public health research in both countries contributed to important scientific publications and protected the industry. COVID-19 may become endemic.

This study assessed the affordability of cardiovascular (CVD) medicines within and across Qatar and Lebanon. A cross-sectional systematic survey (August 2016 and April 2017) of the affordability of thirteen CVD medicines was conducted in primary healthcare centers and community pharmacies after been granted ethics approval. Two capital cities and additional 4 areas and 5 areas in Qatar (15 facilities) and Lebanon (16 facilities), respectively were surveyed. WHO/HAI manual, methodology and workbook were adopted. Data about the originator brand and the lowest-priced equivalent generic available, manufacturer, availability, pack size and price were recorded. Treatment affordability is expressed in the number of days’ wages forgone to purchase the complete treatment (month for chronic or else for acute). The salary of the lowest-paid unskilled government worker in each country (USD20.13 per day in Qatar versus USD19.95 per day in Lebanon) was identified at the time of the study. All medicines were affordable in the public primary healthcare centers in Qatar with the lipid-lowering agent clopidogrel 75mg being the most expensive (at 0.4 days’ wage) among the cardiovascular diseases’ essential medicines list. Most medicines were at 1 days’ wage or less in all private sector outlets surveyed in both countries except for enalapril (antihypertensive medicine), clopidogrel (antithrombotic), and the simvastatin and atorvastatin (lipid-lowering agents). Originator brand of clopidogrel was the most burdening medicine in both countries as lowest-paid unskilled government workers have to forgo 4.2 and 2.5 days’ wages in Qatar and Lebanon, respectively, in order to purchase their monthly dosage from the private sectors. Few medicines were not affordable in both countries, however, more affordable alternatives were available. CVD medicines in community pharmacies were more affordable in Lebanon than in Qatar. Lebanon demonstrated an increased affordability compared to the previous study in 2013.

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended as the optimal way to feed infants during the first months of infancy. Despite this fact, a UNICEF report shows that only 12% of mothers in the state of Qatar exclusively breastfed their babies during 6 months after birth. This study is a follow up to a previous qualitative study Contextual factors influencing breastfeeding practices in Qatar that was conducted in 2010. One of the findings of the study, which was repeatedly suggested by the participants, was that both the hospital sector and primary health care services should be actively providing support to mothers to improve the breastfeeding practices in Qatar. Objectives: 1) gain insight on the existing support systems that are available to breastfeeding mothers the primary health care centers in Qatar (2) explore the breastfeeding promotion initiatives to improve breastfeeding practices among women in Qatar (3) identify the culturally appropriate ways of implementing the required initiatives from the health care providers' perspective 4) determine the percentage of mothers who received breastfeeding counseling in a limited period of time and if they find counseling influential and effective. Methods: A mixed-method design has been chosen to address the above questions. The study consists of two major sections: a qualitative and a quantitative part. For the qualitative part, 30 doctors and nurses of the prenatal and post partum clinics have been interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. For the quantitative portion of the study, a survey questionnaire was provided to 700 mothers who visit the primary health care centers during prenatal and postnatal visits. Result: This is an ongoing study and the results will be finalized by March 2014. Linking research findings to policy-making, service delivery, and practice are important dimensions of this project.

Background: The existence of a single school oral health program specifically targeting only 6 and 9 years old, for over 25 years was inadequate to address the oral health problems among the steadily increasing proportion of school children in Qatar. Paucity of remodeling the program to match the growing needs of children in Qatar had resulted in an increased prevalence of dental caries among schoolchildren. Aims: This paper's primary goal is to present the history of the school oral health program in the State of Qatar. Another overarching goal of this article is to present the development and implementation of a new Asnani (My Teeth) school-based program, which was designed to reach Kindergarten and public primary schools, to reduce the high prevalence of dental caries among school children, and a proposal for National School Oral Health Program plan, that will bring together public and private schools under one umbrella. Recommendation: With the increasing number of KGs and primary school children experiencing dental caries, a new, integrated, and comprehensive school oral health program should be adopted. The program should assist in reducing dental caries rates among school children in Qatar. Since the treatment of oral diseases is costly, Qatar should focus on oral health promotion and preventive measures that will reduce the need for curative procedures and minimize the financial expenses on dental treatment. In addition, it is necessary to have a department for the National School Oral Health Program to continually monitor public and private schools under one umbrella to reach the ultimate goal of reducing dental caries among school children.

In line with global trends, cancer incidence and mortality may have decreased for specific types of cancer in Qatar. However, the cancer-related burden on patients, healthcare systems, and the economy is expected to expand; thus, cancer remains a significant public healthcare issue in Qatar. Qatar's free access to cancer care represents a considerable economic burden. Ensuring the best utilization of financial resources in the healthcare sector is important to provide unified and fair access to cancer care for all patients. Experts from the Qatar Oncology Health Economics Expert Panel (Q-OHEP) aimed to establish a consistent and robust base for evaluating oncology/hematology medications; involve patients' insights to accelerate access to cutting-edge medications; increase the value of cancer care; and reach a consensus for using cost-effective strategies and efficient methodologies in cancer treatment.The Q-OHEP convened on 30 November 2021 for a 3-hour meeting to discuss cancer management, therapeutics, and health economics in Qatar, focusing on four domains: (1) regulatory, (2) procurement, (3) treatment, and (4) patients. Discussions, guided by a moderator, focused on a list of suggested open-ended questions.Some of the salient recommendations included the development of a formal, fast-track, preliminary approval pathway for drugs needed by patients with severe disease or in critical condition; and encouraging and promoting the conduct of local clinical trials and real-world observational studies using existing registry data. The Q-OHEP also recommended implementing a forecast system using treatment center data based on the supply/demand of formulary oncology drugs to detect treatment patterns, estimate needs, expedite procurement, and prevent shortages/delays. Furthermore, the panel discussed the needs to define value concerning cancer treatment in Qatar, implement value-based models for reimbursement decision-making such as health technology assessment and multiple-criteria decision analysis, and promote patient education and involvement/feedback in developing and implementing cancer management guidelines.Herein, we summarize the first Q-OHEP consensus recommendations, which aim to provide a solid basis for evaluating, registering, and approving new cancer medications to accelerate patient access to novel cancer treatments in Qatar; promote/facilitate the adoption and collection of patient-reported outcomes; and implement value-based cancer care in Qatar.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended as the optimal way to feed infants during the first months of infancy. Despite this fact, a UNICEF report shows that only 12% of mothers in the state of Qatar exclusively breastfed their babies during 6 months after birth. This study is a follow up to a previous qualitative study "Contextual factors influencing breastfeeding practices in Qatar" that was conducted in 2010. One of the findings of the study, which was repeatedly suggested by the participants, was that both the hospital sector and primary health care services should be actively providing support to mothers to improve the breastfeeding practices in Qatar. The objectives of this study are to 1) gain insight on the existing support systems that are available to breastfeeding mothers in the primary health care centers where the majority of mothers receive their prenatal and post partum care in Qatar (2) explore the breastfeeding promotion initiatives that are required to be implemented in the primary health care sectors to improve breastfeeding practices among women in Qatar (3) identify the culturally appropriate ways of implementing the required initiatives from the health care providers' perspective 4) determine the percentage of mothers who received breastfeeding counseling in a limited period of time and if they find counseling influential and effective. Methods: A "mixed-method" design has been chosen to address the above questions. The study consists of two major sections: a qualitative and a quantitative part. For the qualitative part, 30 doctors and nurses of the prenatal and post partum clinics will be interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. For the quantitative portion of the study, a survey questionnaire will be provided to mothers who visit the center during prenatal and postnatal visits. Result: This is an ongoing study and the results will be finalized by July 2013. Linking research findings to policy-making, service delivery, and practice are important dimensions of this project. In this presentation, I will conclude by presenting the study's results and make recommendations for future practice and research.

Presented on Wednesday 18 May: Session 19 The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic created challenges for the oil and gas industry. Qatar experienced three significant waves during the pandemic that disproportionately affected the workers in shared accommodation. In Australia, the public health measures limited the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the industry until the Omicron wave. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was assessed in five oil and gas subcontractors and five hospital subcontractors in Qatar between 21 June and 9 September 2020. Vaccine effectiveness was assessed in Qatar. Vaccine effectiveness in an LNG tanker crew off Gladstone was calculated. The initial study in Qatar included 4970 craft manual workers (CMWs) who were mostly men (95.0%). Infection positivity (antibody and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive) ranged from 62.5% (95% CI: 58.3–66.7%) to 83.8% (95% CI: 79.1–87.7%). Only five infections were severe and one was critical – an infection severity rate of 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1–0.4%). Rapid antibody tests (RATs) were effective in diagnosis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infections. Vaccine effectiveness against severe, critical or fatal infections were above 90% in both the Qatar and Australian studies, but protection against infection waned significantly after 6 months. In Qatar and Australia, the industry implemented effective control measures including the use of RATs, PCR tests, test, trace, isolation, quarantine (TTIQ) and vaccination. In both countries, the LNG industry collaborated with public health experts and other experts and was involved in research to assess and manage the risk of COVID-19. Production of LNG was not affected. Participation in public health research in both countries contributed to important scientific publications and protected the industry. COVID-19 may become endemic.

As in many countries in the Middle East, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Qatar is a cause for concern—at 17% in adults, it is almost twice the global average. Shahrad Taheri is Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar and Senior Consultant at Qatar's National Obesity Treatment Centre. He has been involved in Qatar's National Diabetes Strategy since its inception and has had a major role in developing the clinical research infrastructure in Qatar, including chairing the National Diabetes Research Strategy Subcommittee at the Qatar Ministry of Public Health. Although much of the research being done in the new research centres in Qatar has focussed on basic research, the capacity for clinical research including clinical trials is expanding and Taheri has been a driving force behind this movement. Taheri grew up in the UK and his first choice of career was computer science. However, a poorly defined illness in his late teens became a major motivation for pursuing a career in medicine instead. “I never again wanted to be in the position of not knowing what was wrong with me”, he explains. As a medical student at Barts in London, Taheri developed an interest in nutrition, obesity, and endocrinology, which led to a role as an endocrinology house officer at Barts. He was particularly inspired by the idea that this branch of medicine could enable him to study everything from the brain to the heart and from appetite to sleep. He trained in endocrinology and studied for his PhD at the Hammersmith Campus, Imperial College, London, under Professor Sir Stephen Bloom, working to uncover the role of neuropeptides and gut hormones in obesity. Later, as a Howard Hughes research associate at Stanford University, he studied the roles of ghrelin and leptin in regulating sleep and appetite. The report of his work at Stanford on an association between short sleep duration and obesity became his most cited paper. This work has been influential in establishing sleep as an important lifestyle factor. Taheri was involved in setting up a large specialist obesity management centre in Birmingham, UK. When he first started working in obesity, people coming to obesity clinics often received inconsistent messages from different specialists. “We set up multidisciplinary care for people with obesity because we realised we could make a bigger impact by working as a team”, he explained. The service became an example for the UK's National Health System, and Taheri was instrumental in creating a community of physicians interested in obesity in the UK. He was drawn to Qatar in 2013 by the opportunity of setting up new research and clinical projects in the Gulf region. The prevalence of metabolic disease in Qatar is among the highest in the world: 30–40% of the adult population have obesity, 17% have diabetes, and one in four pregnant women develop gestational diabetes. “I have had research fellows here who tell me they want to go to the USA or UK to train in obesity, and I tell them that they would learn more by staying here”, Taheri points out. The Qatari government and Qatar Foundation (which supports education and research) recognises tackling diabetes as a priority, which for Taheri has meant a somewhat smoother path to setting up research programmes than would have been possible in the UK. The country's relative wealth has also seen investment in research and also in preventive medicine: “Primary healthcare centres in Qatar have gyms and swimming pools, where clinicians can offer advice on physical activity; I’ve never seen that anywhere else in the world”, says Taheri. However, some obstacles to pursuing research still exist; for example, a developing clinical research infrastructure and regulatory landscape, and the need to train research staff. The population is also unusual because of the number of expatriates, which can make long-term clinical research studies challenging. However, because of the diverse origin of the population in Qatar, research findings are more likely to be generalisable. One of Taheri's collaborators on the development of the Qatar National Diabetes Research Strategy, was Professor Nick Wareham (MRC Epidemiology Unit, Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge, UK), who praised Taheri's drive and commitment, arguing that it had been crucial to the process of bringing different groups together to form a strategy. “Hitherto, research investment in Qatar has generated strong platforms for basic science but the scale and immediacy of the obesity and diabetes epidemic creates an imperative to strengthen clinical and public health research.” Although he is now involved in driving national strategies and large nationwide clinical trials in obesity and diabetes, personal contact with patients remains fundamental to Taheri's work. He still values both the personal interaction with patients and the application of research afforded by contact with patients. “Research is really gratifying because it can affect thousands of people, but it can be completely meaningless if it doesn’t have an impact on patients”, he says. “I’m driven by and defined by my values, which are to serve the patient. If anything I do is not doing that, I won’t do it. That's how I’m driven, and that's what makes me happy”, he concludes.

Background: The Ministry of Public Health National Health Strategy 2018–2022 has recognized the need for accurate, updated, and representative data that truly reflects the occupational health and safety status in Qatar. In 2015, the Hamad Trauma Center received a research grant to create a unified registry for work-related injuries in Qatar [WURQ], whose processes and research findings have been reported earlier. This paper shall describe the findings from the initial 1-year collection of data on work-related injuries [WRIs] and deaths in Qatar for the year 2020 through the WURQ database. Methods: The WURQ database was queried for all WRIs from January 1 to December 31, 2020. These data were classified by date of injury, age, sex, nationality, mechanism of injury, severity of injury, location of medical consultation, and clinical outcome. Results: Out of a total worker population of 2,174,828 [2.29 occupational fatalities per 100,000 workers, there were 50 deaths caused by WRIs]. The majority of WRI deaths were in the prehospital setting [60%] with the majority of fatal injuries occurring at the worksite [64%] and 22% due to falls. Five hundred six workers sustained severe WRIs [23.26 severe occupational injuries per 100,000 workers], and 37,601 workers sustained mild to moderate WRIs [1,728.91 mild to moderate occupational injuries per 100,000 workers]. The severe WRIs were most commonly due to falls [226 out of 506] from height [45%] and falling heavy objects [80 out of 506] [16%]. Road traffic injuries [RTI] make up one-fourth [133 out of 506] of all severe WRIs. Conclusion: WURQ has described WRIs in Qatar using a purpose-built and nationally linked occupational injury registry. Occupational injury and injury fatality statistics, for Qatar in 2020, are lower than or comparable with those from other high-income countries. This data can be used to inform worksite inspections, investigations, worker safety education, environmental improvements, and injury prevention programs to make Qatar safer for all its workers.

Background The health system in Qatar is going through a digital health technology transformation. Along with upgrading its facilities and medical equipment, Qatar has invested hundreds of millions of Riyals in health information systems specifically deployment of an integrated Electronic Medical Record (EMR) across its national hospitals and primary health care centers. This has introduced the age of health informatics for Qatar at a national level. Health informatics is the systematic application of information, computer science, and technology to practice of health care and research. A specialized workforce will be required to operate and manage these systems. Objective The primary objective of this study was to understand any constraint on national capacity development in the area of health informatics. Methods We reviewed Qatar’s national health and development strategy reports and interviewed 23 health care professionals with a mix of physicians, nurses and allied health practitioners. Results 82% were aware of the health informatics technologies deployment in Qatar. 78% of the interviewees had limited understanding of health care informatics as it relates to national capacity strategy. None of the respondents were aware of any educational programs specializing in health informatics. Conclusions Currently, there is no degree awarding health informatics programs in Qatar. Developing the workforce to support health care informatics requires multiple actions. Comprehensive curriculum and workforce analysis is necessary to provide information about the degree gaps as well as baseline competencies. Developing health informatics competencies that complement other competency sets i.e. medical training, advanced IT training for the existing workforce; establishing coursework and degree programs in conjunction with clinical and IT awarding institutions; and developing institutional training/mentorship programs.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is an emerging threat to public health authorities around the globe. WNV is maintained in ecosystems primarily in enzootic cycles involving mosquito vector and avian hosts, with epizootic spread to mammals including horses and humans. Outbreaks of WNV disease in mammals have been associated with significant losses. The factors that play roles in the evaluation of these outbreaks are not fully known and the disease has not been reported in Qatar. We carried out a study to determine the prevalence of exposure to WNV in the State of Qatar and identify the factors that are likely to associate with seroconverion.

The 1.2 million deaths per annum globally caused by road traffic injuries (RTIs) have been likened to a plane crashing every day (1). Nevertheless, RTIs are a neglected public health concern. There were 247 road traffic fatalities in Qatar in 2010, a rate of 14.4 deaths per 100,000 people. Even though recent progress has been made, this remains three times higher than Western European countries. It is akin to a plane crash every year for Qatar. This study builds on previous analyses of death rates from RTIs in Qatar (2). However, deaths represent less than 3% of all RTIs. This study uses the much larger sample size of all RTIs for 2014. It triangulates three important sources of health sector data: ambulance, emergency department and trauma registry. It analyses 13,000 patient episodes and deconstructs in more detail than heretofore the epidemiology of RTIs in Qatar. The results identify the key demographic, temporal and geographical features of this public health emergency. Qatari males aged 15-19 have a relative risk of RTI 8-11 times higher than the general population and those aged 20-24 have a relative risk 6-9 times higher (see chart for illustration). RTIs in those aged 25 and above are overwhelmingly in non-Qataris and vary substantially in type of road use between the other Arabic and South Asian resident populations. The results also identify the temporal and seasonal effects associated with RTIs and a “heat map” of the accident “hot spots” by geographical zone. It is possible to identify with a high degree of probability which road users are most at risk of harm, when and where. Using recent insights into how predictive data is used by the insurance industry, health policy makers may be able to more effectively target regulatory, technological and behavioural interventions to those most at risk.

Abstract Background Health promotion programs are an increasingly important element of the healthcare landscape of Qatar, but current practice for evaluation of these programs has not been described in the literature. International best practices for design and evaluation of evidence-based public and primary health programs call for the use of systematic approaches, of which the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework is among the most prominent. This paper examines primary healthcare and public health program evaluation in Qatar and other regional countries in relation to the use or potential use of the RE-AIM framework. Method A systematic review was conducted to locate and summarize the scholarly literature on the evaluation of primary and public health programs in Qatar and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations since 2011. For comparative purposes, a sample of 30 research articles reporting public and primary health program evaluation using the RE-AIM framework in other high-income countries during the same period were reviewed. Results A total of 30 qualifying research articles were identified, including 6 from Qatar. None described the use of RE-AIM or another systematic evaluation framework on a currently operating health program. Most of the GCC studies reported evaluation of a single dimension, of which program effectiveness was the most frequent. Most GCC studies used a single evaluation modality, of which participant surveys were the most frequent. All comparison studies reported evaluating all five of the RE-AIM dimensions, and 90% used more than one evaluation modality, of which program/project administrative data and participant surveys were the most frequent. Program aims were similar among the two samples, and an overall similar range of evaluation modalities were used. Conclusions Published reports of primary and public health program evaluation in Qatar and the rest of the GCC have not fully utilized systematic evaluation frameworks such as RE-AIM, which may limit the depth of conceptualization and diversity of outcome measurement found in similar projects in other regions. Adoption of RE-AIM principles has the potential to improve the quality of program evaluation in Qatar and other GCC countries, and to enhance quality improvement and cost-effectiveness of these programs.

Introduction: Obesity has been recognized as a major public health problem worldwide that requires preventive action. Prevention is best targeted at children, there is lack of quantitative and qualitative research on obesity prevention in children and most have been conducted in western countries. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of obesity among 6-7 years old school children, investigate contributing factors and identify potential components for an intervention programme to prevent obesity amongst children in the State of Qatar. Methods The study consisted of two distinct parts: cross sectional survey and focus groups with a range of stakeholders. Results: Whilst there was a high prevalence of overweight and obesity 16%, underweight was also prevalent (21.7%). The results of the focus group discussions indicate that causes of childhood obesity are multifactorial, and a multi-sector approach to prevention would be acceptable. Some of the important barriers that need to be considered in developing interventions were highlighted. Conclusion: In Qatar there is coexistence of underweight and obesity in primary school children. Qualitative results suggest that a multi-sector approach to prevention would be acceptable toward dietary and physical activity, and suggested potential components for an intervention programme in preventing obesity amongst children in the State of Qatar.

Objective: To explore the perceptions and attitudes about clinical research participation prevalent amongst the general public in State of Qatar. Background: Recruitment into research trials is a major challenge and an ongoing problem for biomedical researchers. 1 A recent report indicates that only 6% of eligible subjects actually participate in a clinical trial. 2 Costs of low recruitment rates are high. This includes not just loss of investment made in conducting the research but a more detrimental damage of investigator and institutional reputation as a result of a failed study. 3 Surveys of attitudes to research participation have rarely been done. 4 There is an urgent need to study and address recruitment shortfalls to ensure that trials meet their recruitment target. 1 PERCEPTIONS Study (Perceptions about Enrollment and Recruitment in Clinical Research Prevalent In State of Qatar) PERCEPTIONS Study is an elaborate, three phased, mixed design research project. Phase 1 was conducted to explore the existing attitudes and behaviours prevalent in the population in Qatar. With the dynamic National Vision 2030, Qatar is set to become world leader in health care research. Diabetes, hypertension, cancer and personalized medicine are some of the projected research goals therefore it is essential to gain an insight about the thoughts, beliefs and concerns of people that this research is meant to thrive with and eventually benefit. Methods: A survey was conducted at two large-scale public events held within the State of Qatar. Residents of Qatar who were 18 years of age or older were surveyed following a verbal consent. Those visiting/touring Qatar or under 18 years were excluded from the survey. Filled surveys were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed on SPSS version 23. Results: Total of 2517 surveys were conducted of which 2379 valid forms were analyzed. According to the data 5.6% respondents (n = 137) had previously been approached to participate in a clinical study. Of these 74.6% (n = 86) agreed to participate while 37.3% (n = 51) declined. Remaining 88.7% (n = 2114) of the surveyed population had never been approached to participate in a clinical study. Data was missing for 5.5% (n = 131) respondents. Main reasons for declined consent included: time constraint (50%, n = 11), ‘fear’ (13.6%, n = 3), lack of awareness about clinical research (9.1%, n = 2) and lack of interest in research (9.1%, n = 2). Maximum participation was reported in studies related to diabetes (n = 19) followed by heart diseases (n = 4). ‘To help others’ (n = 24) and ‘thought it might improve my access to health care’ (n = 21) were the prime motivators for participation. Maximum respondents (up to 50%) agreed that their research experience was associated with positive outcomes for self and others, research conduct was ethical and opportunities for participation were and will be welcomed. There was also significant disagreement that research had strong emotional repercussions or that the procedures were ‘too long’, ‘boring’ or ‘inconvenient’. Conclusion: Rate of clinical research participation in Qatar needs improvement. Out- reach to potentially eligible subjects is poor where an overwhelming majority is not approached for consent. Time constraints, lack of trust in and poor state of awareness about clinical research are main barriers to participation. Altruism, monetary benefits, improved health access are prime motivators. Length of stay in Qatar is a statistically significant determinant of recruitment in research (p < 0.002). Deeper insight into the factors affecting clinical research participation is needed to devise evidence based policies for improvement in recruitment strategies and the future of evidence based medical care.

Background: There is a global spread of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) being identified as the causative organism. This pandemic has infected over 53 million people globally causing over 1.3 million deaths resulting in lockdowns being implemented across many countries in the world. Global travel has been severely restricted especially in the early phase with far reaching social, economic and emotional implications. In addition to local measures undertaken by each country to curtail the spread of the disease, many countries implemented entry restriction on flights to reduce the risk of importing the disease by potentially infected incoming travellers. The State of Qatar eased travel restrictions from 1st of September 2020 (Phase IV of reopening of pandemic restrictions) [1]. Incoming travellers from high risk countries had to have a mandatory COVID-19 Naso-Oropharyngeal swab negative result before boarding their flight to Qatar. Then they had to commit to two weeks of compulsory quarantine. Travellers from low risk countries had to be swabbed at Hamad international airport on arrival, followed by a week’s mandatory home quarantine. All travellers had to have COVID-19 RT-PCR nasooropharyngeal swab on day 6 after arrival in Qatar. Method: We looked at the data provided by Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), Qatar from 1st of September to 30th of November. This was retrospective observational study looking at the prevalence of COVID positivity of return travellers as compared to the total positive cases in the country [1]. Results: In our review, out of a total of 19,909 COVID-19 positive cases, 2692 were incoming travellers which amounts to about 14 % of total COVID positive cases in Qatar. It was also noted that with each passing day, the ratio of incoming traveller’s in comparison to the total cases have been increasing, with figures of 9% in September 2020 as compared to 21% in November 2020. Conclusion: This figure clearly shows how important it is to screen all return travellers for COVID-19 as travellers are generally asymptomatic and could potentially spread the disease in the local community. All countries should consider implementing similar policies to reduce the risks of importing COVID-19.

Background: The unpresented global spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its resulting disease (COVID-19) is characterized as one of the greatest global public health crises of the recent decades. The COVID-19 Biorepository is Qatar's National project aiming to support the extraordinary demand on high-quality, curated clinical data and biological samples contributing to research related to the understanding of, and response to, the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts in Qatar and worldwide. Methods: COVID-19 diagnosed patients, who were Qatar residents and they could communicate in Arabic, English, Hindi and Urdu, were eligible to participate in the study. Participants were recruited from the main three COVID-19 public hospitals and isolation facilities in Doha, Qatar for a 7-month period (March-September 2020). Consented participants were followed up on a weekly basis until recovery, and then monthly for a year. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected in electronic questionnaires via a face-to-face interview by trained QBB staff together with biological samples. COVID-19 Rapid Antibodies tests together with Anti- SARS-COV-2- seroprevalence tests are in place to investigate the development and durability of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: A total of 2097 consented participants were recruited up to September 2020. The population is multinational (n = 45 different nationalities)withmales (N = 1050;50.07%) and females (N = 1047;49.93%) and a mean age of 41 years (SD, 15.5). 61.0% of the participants had at least one follow up while 27%adhered to monthly follow up visits. Data have been collected for 99.7% of the participants, while the follow up process is ongoing. In total there are 107,171 high quality specimens in the biorepository including plasma, erythrocytes, buffy coat, serum, PAXgene Whole Blood, Nasopharyngeal secretions and DNA. 61.6% of the participants were asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, 12.4% developed moderate symptoms, 15.1% developed severe symptoms and 11.0% were reported as critical. The 5.7% (n = 121) of the participants were deceased after hospitalization. Conclusion: COVID-19 biorepository is a National asset for Qatar. It is expected to provide high quality data and biological samples to the scientific community that can be used to illuminate the pathophysiology of and to identify markers of disease prognosis of COVID-19 in Qatar and worldwide.

Background and Objectives: Perinatal mortality, a combination of stillbirths and early neonatal mortality (day 0-6 of life), is a very strong indicator to assess healthcare during the perinatal period. Our study aims to prospectively determine Qatar's perinatal mortality rate (PMR) during 2011, analyze trends from 1990 to 2011 and compare the findings with recent data from selected high income countries. Methods: A PEARL study (perinatal neonatal outcomes research study in the Arabian Gulf), a joint collaborative research project between Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar and the University of Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, is a prospective national perinatal epidemiologic study funded by Qatar National Research Fund. The study aims at quantifying maternal, neonatal and perinatal mortality, morbidities and their correlates by establishing a national neonatal perinatal registry for Qatar called Q-Peri-Reg. The data on live births, stillbirths and early neonatal mortality were collected from all public and private maternity units in Qatar during 2011 and compared with Qatar's historic perinatal mortality data (1990-2010) ascertained from maternity and neonatal unit databases of the Women's Hospital and annual reports of HMC. We used ICD-10 definitions both for reporting and comparison with selected high income countries (data from World Health Statistics 2011 and European Perinatal Health Report 2008). Results: The total births during the study period were 20,725 (live births 20,583 and 142 stillbirths) and perinatal deaths 198 (fetal deaths 142 and early neonatal deaths 56) giving a PMR of 9.55, ENMR 2.7 and SBR of 6.85 for reporting and 4.76 for international comparison. The trend of risk ratio (RR) between 1990 and 2011 was significantly down (p= 0.016). This significant improvement in PMR (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.58-0.89, p= 0.002) since 1990 (13.2) was more marked in ENMR (p <0.001) than SBR (p=0.019). The stillbirths constituted 55% of PMR in 1990 and 71.72% in 2011. The comparable PMR from selected high income countries was between 6 and 10. Conclusion: Qatar's 2011 PMR, ENMR and SBR are comparable to selected high income countries. Though there is a significant improvement in perinatal mortality in Qatar since 1990, further improvement is possible by designing well-targeted research-based health system improvement strategies.

Graphic health warnings (GHWs) on cigarette packages have been found to be significantly associated with increased awareness of smoking-related health hazards as well as behavior change. Legislations on GHWs have recently been endorsed and GHWs have now been introduced in Qatar. This study aims to evaluate the general public’s awareness, beliefs and perceptions on anti-tobacco GHW labels on cigarette packs prior to the introduction of the new law. A cross-sectional survey using a pretested 23-item questionnaire was conducted among randomly approached adults in Qatar. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS® version 19. Responses were analyzed by smoking status (ever-smokers vs. never-smokers) to ascertain how these two distinct groups differed in their awareness and perceptions related to health warning messages. The demographic characteristics and other outcomes of interest were compared using χ2 or Fishers Exact tests. A total of 500 participants (59% male) responded to the survey. Most notably, ever-smokers did not significantly differ from never-smokers on awareness of GHW. About one-third of the respondents had no idea about any specific text warning messages on tobacco products sold and nearly 45% of them did not know what a GHW was. Furthermore, a substantial proportion (more than 20%) of the respondents in both groups did not believe that introducing GHWs will enhance smoking behavior change. Non-smokers generally tended to have more positive attitudes than smokers toward the perceived impact of GHWs (p < 0.05). A substantial proportion of the general public in Qatar had poor awareness about GHWs. This study has important implications on the needs to increase awareness about the value of GHWs as well as calls for further research to determine the effectiveness of GHW labels on cigarette packages in Qatar and the greater Middle Eastern region, where legislations on GHWs are still at infancy.

<h3>Background</h3> Work-related injuries (WRIs) have been identified as a public health priority in Qatar. At present data on WRIs is collected by diverse governmental and non-governmental agencies. This study evaluates the utility of various data sources for occupational injury surveillance based on international reporting standards of the International Labour Organisation [ILO], Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA] and International Classification of Diseases 10 [ICD-10]. <h3>Methods</h3> Stakeholder meetings with agencies working for the welfare and health of workers in Qatar were held to assess the existence and availability of data sources and develop consensus on the definition of essential elements related to WRIs surveillance. These. The status of the data sources with respect to these data elements was recorded and compared to reporting standards of the ILO, OSHA and ICD10. <h3>Results</h3> 8 data sources were included. 4 from the Hamad Medical Corporation [HMC], the national health service provider: trauma registry, ambulance service, emergency department [3 hospitals] and mortuary. Other data sources were: Qatar Red Crescent Clinics, Public Works Authority, the Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Interior. The following data elements were collected by all sources: age, sex and nationality. External causes of injury, circumstances and nature of injury were collected by 6 or more sources, occupation by 4 sources, while the documentation of work-relatedness, and injury severity score calculation was only done by 1, the HMC Trauma registry. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Data collection for the estimation of WRIs in Qatar is not systematic and thus important aspects of injury prevention and safety promotion are overlooked. A mechanism to generate data in compliance with international standards is needed. In the interim, linking these data sources, through ongoing multi-sectoral collaboration will improve the quality of WRI data and inform occupational injury prevention efforts.

WHO declared Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a public health emergency on the 30th of January 2020. Soon afterward, COVID-19 cases started to emerge from all parts of the world. The state of Qatar was extremely vigilant from the very outset. Special measures were introduced immediately to restrict the influx of people from high-risk countries such as China and Iran. The Ministry of public health (MOPH), Qatar started preparing for an impending pandemic in the meantime. The first cluster of COVID-19 positive cases was declared on March the 11th 2019. A total of 238 cases were declared positive on this day. It raised the alarm to roll over all those preparations on the ground into practice

Summarize and differentiate the three groups of EHR malpractice risks. INTRODUCTION Our world has been radically transformed by digital technology – smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices have transformed our daily lives and the way we communicate. A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital healthcare infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs), encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform the way care is delivered and compensated. An EHR is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR system is built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider's office and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient's care.1 One of the key features of an EHR is that health information can be created and managed by authorized providers in a digital format capable of being shared with other providers across more than one healthcare organization. EHRs are built to share information with other healthcare providers and organizations – such as laboratories – so they contain information from all clinicians involved in a patient's care. The EHR is composed of components such as clinical decision support systems (CDSS) that include information about relevant clinical practice guidelines and clinical reminders, and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) of medications that check orders against patient information to flag potential drug interactions, allergic reactions, and errors.2 The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)… ABBREVIATIONS: HER - Electronic Health Records, ARRA - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, HITECH - Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health, CDSS - Clinical Decision Support System, CPOE - Computerized Physician Order Entry, IOM - Institute of Medicine's, HIT - Health Information Technology, CRICO - Controlled Risk Insurance Company 1.

Communicable disease outbreaks can spread rapidly, causing enormous losses to individual health, national economies and social well-being. Therefore, communicable disease surveillance is essential for protecting public health. In Qatar, electronic reporting from primary health centres was proposed as a means of improving disease notification, replacing a paper-based method of reporting (via internal mail, facsimile, email or telephone), which has disadvantages and requires active cooperation and engagement of staff. This study is a predescriptive and postdescriptive analysis, which compared disease notifications received from electronic and paper-based systems during 3-month evaluation periods (quarter 2 in 2016 and quarter 2 in 2018 for paper-based and electronic reporting, respectively) in terms of comprehensiveness, timeliness and completeness. For the 23 notifiable diseases included in this study, approximately twice as many notifications were received through the electronic reporting system as from the paper-based reporting system, demonstrating it is more comprehensive. An overall increase in notifications is likely to have a positive public health impact in Qatar. 100% of electronic notifications were received in a timely manner, compared with 28% for paper-based notifications. Findings of the study show that electronic reporting presents a revolutionary opportunity to advance public health surveillance. It is recommended that electronic reporting be rolled out more widely to improve the completeness, stability and representativeness of the national public health surveillance system in Qatar as well as other countries.

Abstract The 2022 FIFA World Cup was the first major multi-continental sporting Mass Gathering Event (MGE) of the post COVID-19 era to allow foreign spectators. Such large-scale MGEs can potentially lead to outbreaks of infectious disease and contribute to the global dissemination of such pathogens. Here we adapt previous work and create a generalisable model framework for assessing the use of disease control strategies at such events, in terms of reducing infections and hospitalisations. This framework utilises a combination of meta-populations based on clusters of people and their vaccination status, Ordinary Differential Equation integration between fixed time events, and Latin Hypercube sampling. We use the FIFA 2022 World Cup as a case study for this framework. Pre-travel screenings of visitors were found to have little effect in reducing COVID-19 infections and hospitalisations. With pre-match screenings of spectators and match staff being more effective. Rapid Antigen (RA) screenings 0.5 days before match day outperformed RT-PCR screenings 1.5 days before match day. A combination of pre-travel RT-PCR and pre-match RA testing proved to be the most successful screening-based regime. However, a policy of ensuring that all visitors had a COVID-19 vaccination (second or booster dose) within a few months before departure proved to be much more efficacious. The State of Qatar abandoned all COVID-19 related travel testing and vaccination requirements over the period of the World Cup. Our work suggests that the State of Qatar may have been correct in abandoning the pre-travel testing of visitors. However, there was a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations within Qatar over the World Cup. The research outlined here suggests a policy requiring visitors to have had a recent COVID-19 vaccination may have prevented the increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations during the world cup. Author summary Mass Gathering Events (MGEs) can potentially lead to outbreaks of infectious disease and facilitate the dissemination of such pathogens. We have adapted previous work to create a framework for simulating disease transmission and mitigation at such MGEs. We use the 2022 FIFA World Cup as a test case for this framework. A policy of Pre-travel screenings of visitors was found to have little effect in reducing COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations. Pre-match screenings of spectators and match staff was found to be more effective. The most effective policy was to ensure that all visitors had a COVID-19 vaccination (second or booster dose) within a few months before departure. Qatar abandoned all COVID-19 related travel testing and vaccination requirements over the period of the World Cup. Our work suggests that the State of Qatar may have been correct in abandoning the pre-travel testing of visitors. However, there was a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations within Qatar over the World Cup. Given our findings, we suggest a policy requiring visitors to have had a recent COVID-19 vaccination may have prevented the increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations during the world cup.

Abstract Background Intestinal parasitosis is a major concern for public health, especially in children from middle and low-income populations of tropical and subtropical areas. In this study, we explored the environmental and socio-demographic characteristics of immigrants in Doha Qatar, that might explain the persistence of the parasites that they harbor.Methodology This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,486 newly arrived expatriates and those who visited Qatar previously during the period 2012-2014. Through questionnaires and census data, we characterised the socio-demographics conditions at an individual, family and neighborhood levels.Results Combined protozoan infections were significantly associated with immigrants arriving in Doha for the first time. In univariate loglinear statistical models fitted in phase 1 of the analysis significant associations were observed between the prevalence of combined protozoan infections and personal and familial factors that included religion, the level of education of subjects, both parents’ educational levels and their jobs, and number of siblings. Furthermore, environmental effects on the prevalence of protozoan infections included the country of origin; the floor of the house, toilet type, household content index, provision of household water, arable farming background showed a strong association with protozoan infections as well. However in phase 2, multifactorial binary logistic generalized linear models focusing only on the significant effects identified in phase 1, showed that only five factors retained significance (age class, floor of house, household contents index, father’s education, and number of siblings). The only factors that had a significant effect on the prevalence of helminth infections were the subjects age class and the mother’s educational level.Conclusion The prevalence of intestinal protozoan parasites among immigrants to Qatar is clearly multifactorial in origin, determined by key familial relationships of subjects and also the environment in which the subjects lived prior to their arrival in Qatar. Moreover our results suggest that screening protocols for applicants for visas/work permits need to be revised giving more careful attention to the intestinal protozoan infections that potential immigrants may harbor.

Mental health awareness is a vital part of a comprehensive National Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the entire population [1]. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in Qatar along with various stakeholders including PHCC are tasked with promoting and improving the delivery of Mental health services across the country as per Public Health Strategy 2017-2022 and the National Health Strategy 2018-2022 [2, 3]. The Qatar Global Burden of Disease 2010 reveals that major depressive disorder is the most burdensome disease in Qatar as per DALYs [4]. The WHO estimates about 30-50% patients attending primary care with depressive disorder are not detected and nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional due to stigma, discrimination, and negative stereotype [5]. Other reasons include limited time, access, affordability and lack of education and training. It was reported that an average delay between first symptoms presentation and intervention is approximately 11 years, which makes screening important as it allows for early identification and intervention. Recently MOPH launched Ma'ak Educational Program to enhance mental health and wellbeing in Qatar [6]. This can help bridge the gap and lead to better outcomes. Evidence suggests early treatment may also lessen long-term disability and suffering [7]. This Audit is done to review the adherence to mental health screening by nurses at our primary health care center (HC) and suggest measures to improve quality of patient care and health outcomes at PHCC if audit finds any gap in practice. A baseline audit sample of 354 health records was selected from the total volume of patients (18years and above) who were seen at nurses' station at our HC between 11th to 20th January 2023 and reviewed retrospectively against audit specific criterion. This data was then analysed to see how many of them had mental health screening performed using PHQ2 and GAD2 questionnaires. ..

Background Influenza is a highly infectious but preventable viral illness. Influenza vaccine remain the cornerstone of prevention, WHO encourages annual influenza vaccinations for all children and youth ≥ 6 months of age and those who have chronic illness at risk for the development of complications. Vaccinating pediatricians will reduce their risk of getting the flu and could potentially prevent illness in patients; their positive attitudes play a central role in educating parents and support decision-making to increase vaccine coverage in children's. Immunization schedule in Qatar matched the World Health Organization (WHO) recent recommendations and provide vaccination programs to public accordingly. Free vaccine campaign started at HMC, Qatar in 2006 for all health care providers in hospital. The influenza target was set at ≥ 70 % vaccination rates. Data from the infection control department shown that there is consistently low compliance with seasonal Influenza vaccine among all health care workers: in 2011, the rate was 37% compared with 68% in 2012. Although a safe and effective vaccine is available, there is little local data on percentage of vaccinated hospital based pediatricians and their attitudes toward seasonal flu vaccine. Objective To assess vaccination coverage rate, attitude and identify several factors to enhance seasonal influenza vaccine acceptance among pediatricians in Qatar Methods cross sectional survey was conducted among pediatricians working at different locations in the pediatric department such as pediatrics inpatients ward, pediatric intensive care unit, neonatal intensive care unit and pediatrics emergency department at Hamad Medical Corporation the main tertiary teaching hospital in Qatar, The survey consisted of details demographics, attitudes, uptake of influenza vaccine in the current year and factors influencing vaccine acceptance. The study protocol and Questionnaire was reviewed and approved by the Medical Research Centre. Hamad Medical Corpo-ration, Doha, Qatar. All Statistical analyses were done using statistical packages SPSS 22.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL). Result A total of 63 pediatricians from different department participated in this survey. Our study showed that percentages of participants who received sessional flu vaccination were (78%). Flu vaccination uptake was observed to be (58%) among physicians working in high-risk area such as PICU, NICU and Pediatrics Emergency compared to (42%) on inpatients ward. In order to promote immunization acceptance and coverage rate among pediatricians, use of evidence-based statement to support vaccine effectiveness ranked the highest (42%), followed by (23%) provides free on site vaccination, (20%) participating in multidisciplinary educational campaign and (10%) leadership support and being a role model, and lastly (5%) increase access to vaccine. Conclusion Personal experience of seasonal influenza vaccination, Evidence base benefit of vaccine and its safety plays an important factor in physician's attitude towards immunization. Our finding showed that vaccine coverage among pediatricians working in a hospital setting close to the international target of 80% in healthcare facilities. Good compliance and high acceptance of influenza vaccination by pediatricians will positive impact on children immunization rate in Qatar. Our study described several practical intervention to enhance flu vaccine acceptance and achieve higher coverage rate.

In this short communication, we summarized the analyses, models, and interpretations of the corporate department of emergency medicine's (CDEM) COVID-19 numbers and their relationship to predict the national COVID-19 trends and numbers in Qatar. Data included in this analysis were obtained between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2021. It included the number of COVID-19 cases that presented to four major EDs under the Hamad Medical Corporation CDEM umbrella and published data from the Qatar Ministry of public health (MoPH). On plotting weighted scatterplot smoothing (lowess) trend lines, there were striking similarities between CDEM and national COVID-19 n curves for overall trends and peaks. In conclusion, CDEM COVID-19 spike may be useful to predict national COVID-19 spike in 2-3 weeks.

Introduction: As a result of an increased life expectancy and reduced fertility, it is anticipated that by 2050 about half of the world’s population will be aged 60 years and above. This increased longevity has posed a challenge of adding health to life as progressive improvements in older people’s health that translate to longevity may be stalled. Physiological aging is usually associated with multiple chronic diseases, frailty, polypharmacy, and the loss of dependency and autonomy for daily living activities. Besides, reduced dexterity, impaired vision, and lower tactile associated with physiological aging pose an increased risk to oral hygiene. Furthermore, older adults, especially those with cognitive impairment, have more compromised oral health. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this heuristic designed project is to screen all adult patients, including those with a history of chronic diseases living and seeking dental services at the public sectors and other sectors in Qatar. To improve the treatment of oral health diseases, the overall oral health of older adults, and to develop a data repository of oral diseases in the elderly population under one national umbrella for the first time in Qatar. Project Design: This project is consisting of two tests, pre-test, and post-test design. The use of this design will allow us to understand the oral health challenges in Qatar. This screening’s expected outcome will reveal the critical factors and challenges that affect the oral health logistic system. It will also help in improving and identifying all oral health problems. Help in testing whether Qatar’s older population’s oral health screen effectively reduces the risk of poor oral health among this group. Oral health screening will be implemented as a regular intervention that will be delivered using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) such as tongue, lips, saliva, dental pain, natural teeth, gums and oral tissue, and dentures. Expected Outcomes: The project is anticipated to support the practical application and real operational status of healthcare settings. Besides, it is anticipated that this project will optimize the chances for maximum impact once the program is implemented. Furthermore, it is expected that the project will include an essential part for decision making, evaluation, and justifications and will also hold key evaluation features for program impact and monitoring. Another expected outcome of this project is its ability to document programs effectively and identify significant opportunities for improvement with collected data. Finally, it is expected that this project will result in a model outline that will be implemented in both Qatar and across the globe to help merge the public sector and other sectors’ dental health data on a national level. Recommendation: Since the number of adults with a history of chronic diseases and have oral conditions is still unknown in Qatar due to the lack of a database, the authors recommend this project to help in building the background and database to assist dental practitioners, and policymakers develop specific and targeted programs that will support and provide treatment for the targeted population to improve the quality of life.

Abstract Background In March 2020, Qatar started reporting increased numbers of COVID-19 cases. At that stage, containment measures were put in place. The health authority in Qatar developed an emergency action plan to respond to the outbreak with the Primary Health Care as the main component of that response and suspended all non-urgent services including preventive health services. The aim of the retrospective analysis to measure the Impact of COVID 19 on the preventive services provided in Qatar. Methods A retrospective data analysis was conducted for all the preventive services utilization volume across the 27 PHCC health centers from the 1st of January 2017 to the 31st of July 2020. Results With 17,012 no-show appointments, well-baby and Immunization services utilization demonstrated a reduction of 40% in May and started to come back to volumes higher than expected in June. The number of cancelled appointments for breast cancer and colorectal cancer screening programs were 3,481 and 5,854 respectively. The expected volumes demand has dropped by 100% in comparison to 2017 demand. Wellness services only met 20% of its projected utilization in April, however, the services picked up in June. Conclusion These findings will guide the public health policymakers to understand the effects COVID-19 on preventive services and the risk of having an increased number of outbreaks for childhood communicable disease, cancer cases with delayed diagnosis due to the screening services suspension. In addition, the plan will address the increased number of sedately behavior due to the service’s reduced utilization of wellness services.

The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of available HIV case reporting and treatment data for in Qatar for the period 2015-2020.HIV case reporting data were analyzed by sex and mode of transmission. To construct HIV care continuum from the data available, we obtained information on the total number of HIV diagnosed patients on antiretroviral treatment (ART) between January 1st 2015 and December 31st 2020, number of patients on ART who had an HIV viral load test and the number who were virally suppressed (defined as having the viral load of less than 1,000 copies/mL).A total of 515 HIV cases were reported to the Ministry of Public Health since beginning of reporting in 1986, and that included Qatari nationals and expatriate residents diagnosed in Qatar. There was an increase in the annual number of newly reported HIV cases from 16 cases in 2015 (of these, 14 were males) to 58 cases in 2020 (of these, 54 were males). The total number of HIV diagnosed people on ART increased from 99 in 2015 to 213 in 2020. During 2020 the overall viral load testing coverage and viral load suppression among those tested for viral load in men were 72.5% and 93.1%, respectively, while in women these values were 60.4% and 84.4%, respectively.Due to increase in newly reported HIV cases, there is a need to develop an effective HIV strategic information system in Qatar and data-driven and targeted national HIV response.

Qatar Biobank (QBB), the first very large scale, long-term public biorepository in Qatar, is designed to build a powerful research infrastructure for future investigations of the lifestyle, metabolic and genetic risk factors by collecting comprehensive phenotypic baseline data among healthy volunteers, including ECG, blood pressure, anthropometry, spirometry, retinal imaging, carotid 3D ultrasound, arterial stiffness, total body iDXA, in addition to detailed personal lifestyle and clinical data. QBB collects and stores blood samples subdivided in 68 aliquotes for different future research purposes. Qatar Biobank understands that building a successful biobank depends on the willing participation of the public to come forward to contribute. The recruitment of participants requires insight into the public's existing knowledge of biobanking, level of willingness and an understanding of the motivators and barriers to participation. From December 2012 to June 2013, 503 participants completed anonymously a feedback form to evaluate their experience. The aim of this specific survey is to gain insight into recruitment methods, incentive to participate and satisfaction with various aspects of the visit. This will enable assessment of the processes of registration, scheduling, checking in, consent and reporting back results. Around 75% of those who completed the feedback form participated in QBB to improve the health of future generations and to have a comprehensive health checkup. 95% were willing to participate again if needed and 85% would recommend participation to friends and family. 87% and 95% thought the length of the questionnaire was appropriate and the questions not too intrusive, respectively. Finally, 91% found the staff welcoming, 89% rated the check-in process as "good" and 76% found scheduling an appointment straightforward. Further comments from participants suggested appreciation of the protection of confidentiality and privacy that was displayed throughout the process and that the process was smooth and enjoyable.

Abstract Background: Clinical pharmacists play a key role in ensuring the optimum use of cancer medicines. Yet, the economic benefit of this role has never been assessed in Qatar. Aim: To evaluate the overall economic impact of clinical pharmacist interventions in the main cancer care setting in Qatar. Methods: From the public healthcare perspective, this was an analysis of the total economic benefit and a cost-benefit analysis of the clinical pharmacy interventions. As a study sample size, patient records in March 2018, July/August 2018, and January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed at the National Center for Cancer Care & Research (NCCCR), Qatar. The total benefit from interventions was the total of the cost avoidance due to preventable adverse drug events (ADEs) plus the cost savings associated with therapeutic interventions. The interventions cost was based on salary and increased cost due to therapeutic interventions. The cost-benefit analysis results were presented via net benefit and benefit‐to‐cost ratio measures. Results : Total of 1,352 interventions occurred during the 3-month follow-up period. The total benefit was QAR 196,010,360 (USD53,834,206), constituting cost avoidance of QAR 194,764,534 (USD 53,492,040) and cost savings of QAR 1,245,826 (USD 342,166), mostly due to recommending additional medications and the medication dose reduction. The benefit-to-cost ratio was 174:1 and the annual net benefit was QAR 779,539,440 (USD 214,100,351). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of results. Conclusion: The clinical pharmacist intervention is a cost-beneficial practice in the NCCCR setting, associated with ADEs prevention and substantial economic benefits, including relative to the interventions cost.

This study aims to collate all metabolic syndrome-related studies among adults in Qatar, shedding light on gaps in knowledge related to this topic to be addressed in future research studies. PubMed was used in searching for metabolic syndrome-related articles in Qatar, which was executed using relevant terms and was conducted with no restrictions. A second search was executed at a later stage to include any recent publications. A total of 20 articles were found to be relevant and related to the topic in hand. Three definitions of metabolic syndrome were used across the reviewed studies, which were classified based on medical specialties. The main findings and key components of each study were summarized. Studies were unevenly distributed across various medical specialties. This article serves to direct future research activities by identifying what aspects of the disease have been covered under current or past research projects and what more needs to be addressed comprehensively in view of clinical and public health significance.

Background and Objectives: The millennium development goals (MDG 5) mandate a three quarters reduction in maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by 2015. Hence, universal access to reproductive health and improvement in maternal survival remains the prime focus of all global health strategies and plans of action. Our study aims to analyze Qatar's performance in achieving MDG 5 by 2011. Methodology: A PEARL study (perinatal neonatal outcomes research study in the Arabian Gulf) is Qatar's prospective national perinatal epidemiologic study funded by Qatar National Research Fund. The study is a joint collaborative research project between Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar and the University of Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. The project is establishing Qatar's national neonatal perinatal registry called Q-Peri-Reg which will quantify maternal, neonatal and perinatal outcomes and their correlates. Data on maternal health indicators and mortality was collected from all public and private maternity facilities during 2011. Results: During 2011, the total deliveries were 20,314 (normal vaginal 15,076 (74.22%) and caesarean sections 5238 (25.78%). 99.45% of deliveries were attended by a trained birth attendant in a maternity facility while 0.55% (n= 114) took place out of hospital. 100% of the mothers had made at least one antenatal visit. The total births were 20,725 (20,583 live births and 142 stillbirths). 100% of the births were examined by a pediatrician and entered in a national birth register. Qatar's MMR was 9.85 (n 2) as compared to global MMR of 260, Australia 8, UK 12 and USA 24. Conclusion: Qatar has achieved its target MDG 5 well before 2015. Qatar's 2011 MMR is comparable to most high income countries. Qatar's reproductive health system provides a unique model to study the correlates and associations of maternal survival which can form the basis of global health systems improvement strategies.

Abstract Background Iodine deficiency poses a significant public health challenge worldwide, particularly in preschool children and pregnant women. Assessing the iodine intake at a population level is essential, as both deficient and excessive iodine status can have adverse health consequences. The main objective of this survey is to understand the iodine deficiency status in schoolchildren aged 6–12 years in the State of Qatar. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted from March to June 2014 among school‐aged children using a two‐stage cluster sampling technique. Anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary parameters for seafood were collected. Spot urine samples were collected from 967 participants, and a repeat random subsample urine was collected from 288 participants. Overall median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was calculated. Iodine content in household salt samples was estimated by qualitative and quantitative methods. Mann–Whitney U test was used for comparison. Results The median UIC was 333.2 μg/L (IQR = 228.6). UIC prevalence rates between 300–999 and >1000 μg/L were 56.7% and 2.8%, respectively. The goiter prevalence was 0.4%. A significant difference was noted in overall median UIC levels between boys and girls ( p = 0.003). Adequate iodized salt consumption was reported by 74.9% of households, and weekly seafood consumption was reported by one third of the respondents. Conclusion The results indicate an excess intake of iodine among the studied population in the State of Qatar, and national efforts are needed to bring iodine intake and concentration levels within the cutoff value for the concerned survey population's age group. In addition, a surveillance system needs to be set up for continuous monitoring of iodine content and salt intake at the population level in the State of Qatar.

Introduction: Motor vehicle crashes have been identified as one of the leading causes of death, injury and disability among young children, less than 5 years, in Qatar. Child passenger restraint systems [CRS] are one of the most effective means to reduce these in child passengers. Previous studies on the effectiveness of a child restraint have shown that if child occupants are properly restrained, the fatality risk is reduced by 28% and serious injury by 82% (1). The objective of this survey is to examine knowledge, attitudes and usage of CRS in a sample of parents with young children in Doha, Qatar. It was conducted as part of a larger ‘Young Kids in Safe Seats (Y-KISS)’ grant [NPRP 7-1681-3-429] funded by the Qatar Foundation designed to measure current CRS knowledge, attitudes and practices and test two potential interventions to improve their use in Qatar. It has been predicted that by the year 2020, RTIs will be the third major cause of disability and hence is an alarming public health problem currently prevailing (2). Methods: A custom designed survey, containing 25 questions that tested CRS knowledge, attitudes and practice of participants, was applied by trained health communicators in 3 Well Baby Clinics of the Primary Health Care Corporation [PHCC]. All participants at least had one child between the ages of 0-5.The survey was conducted in self-administered electronic tabs and was made available in four languages as per the convenience of the participant. Results: The survey collected information from 602 parents, of children under 5 years consulting at well-baby clinics, on: method of child transport, use of CRS, knowledge of CRS, and demographic characteristics. The sample size included 30% Qatari population and 70% expatriates. Almost 50% parents who participated had a Bachelor's degree. The results showed that only 43% used a CRS for their children and only 53% had a car seat.. The most common reasons for not using a safety seat included children crying when in CRS (56%) and a preference to hold the child (18.1%).Only 23% parents had correct knowledge of the appropriate age and weight limits of transitioning car seats as the child grows. Only 38% were aware of the benefits of using a car seat. Moreover, nearly all [94%] reported never witnessing enforcement of child passenger laws prohibiting children from riding in the front, concomitantly only 9% stated that a law requiring CRS use would make them use one for their children Conclusion: Less than half of young children, in this study population, were benefitting from safety provided by CRS. There is a need to develop awareness programs that educate caregivers on the benefits and proper use of CRS. Other priority areas for intervention include the consistent enforcement of laws banning children in the front seat and extending current passenger restraint laws to include all vehicle passengers.

Abstract Purpose: Obesity has been recognized as a major public health problem worldwide that requires preventive action. Prevention is best targeted at children, but relatively few research studies have focused on obesity prevention and most of those were conducted in western countries. Qatar has undergone rapid industrialization and childhood obesity is emerging as a health problem. However, there is little information on the determinants and its prevention. The aims of this study was to describe the prevalence of obesity among 6-7 years old school children, investigate contributing factors and identify potential components for an intervention program to prevent obesity amongst children. Methods: The study consisted of two parts: 1) cross-sectional survey of children in grade 1 from 12 primary schools randomly selected from the state of Qatar and 2) focus groups with a range of stakeholders. Topic guides were used to explore concepts on overweight and obesity, the causes of childhood obesity, and perceptions on potential prevention interventions. Results: There was a relatively high prevalence of overweight and obesity. There were no significant differences between obese and non-obese children in relation to physical activity or sedentary activity levels or dietary patterns, except for higher reported consumption of sweetened beverages by the obese children compared to non-obese children. Participants were aware of the complexity and variety of causes of obesity and identified two important causal influences resulting from rapid societal change and affluence since oil production in the country. In term of interventions, the school setting was usually prioritized and the influence of teachers in intervention delivery emphasized: “children learn from school more than they learn from their mothers”. The importance of education for parents, particularly the mothers was also a consistent theme. Conclusion: This is the first study in the state of Qatar that has examined the risk factors for childhood obesity and used qualitative methodology to inform future obesity prevention intervention development. The focus group data provided important contextual information, validated some findings from the cross sectional study and informs the development of future obesity prevention interventions appropriate to the local setting.

Introduction: Multiple case studies were conducted using a public school and a private school to understand why the prevalence of dental caries was high among primary school children despite previous oral health strategies. The study is aimed to inform the refinement of current dental caries prevention behavioural strategies in Qatar for school children in both public and private settings. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to select 5 pupils, 5 parents, 5 teachers and 2 school nursese for the case study. A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with the participants to understand issues relating to prevalence and control of dental caries among school pupils. Results: The study found that home context plays a crucial role in terms of oral health motivation in Qatar. It was found that children are taught the most basic daily oral hygiene-related behaviours at home, including tooth brushing and dental flossing. Discussion: The study revealed the role of parents at home in supporting oral health activities to motivate and empower children to take part in such behaviours. Also, parents and teachers work in collaboration to enhance oral health behaviours in children.

BACKGROUND: Zika virus, an emerging serious infectious disease, is a threat to persons living or travelling to regions where it is currently endemic, and to contacts of infected individuals. Qatar, located on the northeastern coast of the Arabian peninsula, harbors the primary vector species, Aedes aegypti for Zika virus. Additionally, Qatar Airways, the national airline has daily flights to and from countries and territories such as Sao Paulo in Brazil, Miami in Florida, and in Argentina where active transmission of Zika virus has been reported and confirmed. This may increase the likelihood of importation of Zika virus cases to the country. Successful disease prevention programs depend upon public awareness of risk factors and disease characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge and perceptions about this new public health threat to persons residing in Qatar. METHODS: We conducted a self-administered survey in English at several international universities in Qatar to assess students, faculty, and staff knowledge and awareness about this disease. An adapted version of the survey (English and Arabic) was also conducted on Qatar based websites to additionally reach the general public. Data was collected from August to September 2016. The survey questionnaire collected data on participant demographic characteristics (gender, age, nationality, marital status, education, role, and institution), general information about Zika virus (source of information, existence of a vaccine to prevent Zika, mode of transmission of Zika, individuals at risk of Zika infection), personal knowledge about Zika and questions related to participants’ travel to endemic countries. Participants’ general knowledge about Zika virus were classified in three categories: i) “poor”, when participants did not know that there is currently no vaccine for Zika virus, and/or that the disease is transmitted by infected mosquitoes, and/or anyone could get Zika virus; ii) “basic”, when participants knew that there is currently no vaccine for Zika virus, that the disease is transmitted by infected mosquitoes, and anyone could get Zika virus; and iii) “broad”, when in addition, participants knew that the disease could be transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood transfusion, or during pregnancy, and that if pregnant woman has Zika virus, there are risks for her baby/fetus. We conducted logistic regression to assess the association between level of knowledge about Zika (“poor”, “basic”, and “broad”) and participants’ characteristics. Analyses were conducted on SAS software. RESULTS: The median age of the 446 respondants was 25 years, 280 (63%) were females, and 141 (32%) were from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) or other Middle East countries. Based upon their knowledge about availability of a vaccine, role of mosquitoes and other modes of transmission, and disease complications, 66%, 27%, and 7% of respondents were classified as have poor, basic, and broad knowledge about Zika virus, respectively. Forty-five (16%) persons with poor knowledge considered themselves to be well-informed. The proportion of respondents with such an erroneous perception of knowledge was not associated with gender, age, nationality, marital status, or education. However, this erroneous perception was significantly in higher proportion among students, staff, and faculty from the art and design college. Faculty (10%) and staff (9%) were the two groups with the highest proportion of individuals with broad general knowledge about Zika. Internet was the most common source of information (61%) among those who ever heard about Zika virus. Our survey demonstrates that students had the lowest proportion of individuals with basic (22%) and broad (4%) general knowledge about Zika, and about a quarter of them (23%) did not hear about Zika virus before the survey. Among students, staff, and faculty from the international universities, those from the medical college had higher general knowledge about Zika virus (OR (95%CI) = 1.81 (1.03-3.2). p-value = 0.009); while those from the art and design college had the lower general knowledge about the virus (OR (95%CI) = 0.19 (0.06-0.67). p-value = 0.04). In the past year, only 5% of the respondents reported having travelled to at least one of the countries where Zika virus is endemic. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Although few cases have been reported in the region, future cases are possible, since Qatar is a hub with many flights to countries or areas where the disease is widespread. A likely pathway of Zika virus transmission to residents living in Qatar is person-to-person transmission either by sexual contact or by other inadvertent exchange of body fluids. This could be a threat not only to family members but also to health care workers caring for patients returning from a region with a high prevalence of Zika virus who have had or currently are ill with Zika virus. Blood or body fluids from Zika virus-infected patients may harbor the virus for up to 3 weeks and possibly longer. We conducted the study at about the time of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, a period when there was great international interest about the threat of Zika virus to athletes and to travelers. Despite the widespread global media interest at the time of the survey, the questionnaire revealed that many respondents are unaware of critical information concerning the Zika virus. We conclude that an educational program about Zika virus would be valuable, especially for individuals or family members travelling to afflicted regions. Additionally, health care workers should be vigilant when caring for persons who have recently returned from high risk regions. Our study findings are relevant keeping in mind the 2022 FIFA World Cup during which a substantial number of individuals will visit Qatar from all over the world. Our findings indicate a need for a broader educational and outreach program targeting Qatar's general population and health care workers so that they are more aware about new and re-emerging threats to health.

Tobacco use is one of the main causes of premature deaths and preventable diseases in Qatar. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to design, implement, and evaluate an intensive education program on tobacco-use treatment for pharmacists in Qatar. The study objectives are to assess the effectiveness of the program on pharmacists’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and perceived self-efficacy toward tobacco cessation. Methods: Community pharmacists practicing in Qatar were eligible for participation in the study. Consenting participants were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups. Participants in the intervention group received an intensive education program on treatment of tobacco-use disorder. A short didactic session on a non-tobacco-related topic was delivered to pharmacists in the control group. Outcomes were assessed using survey instruments. Results: Participants in the intervention group (n=57) achieved significantly higher total tobacco-related knowledge scores (mean=33 points) than those in the control group (n=37) (mean=24.5 points) with a p-value of <0.001. Post-intervention total knowledge scores were significantly higher than the baseline scores for participants who received intensive tobacco education with a mean difference of 6.6 points (p-value <0.001). Overall attitudes toward tobacco cessation and self-efficacy in tobacco cessation interventions were better in the group of pharmacists who received tobacco education compared to those who did not. For instance, 43.4% of pharmacists in the intervention group “strongly agreed” that their counseling will increase a patient’s likelihood of quitting tobacco use compared to 14.7% in the control group (p-value=0.014). Furthermore, 20.4% of pharmacists in the intervention group reported that they are “extremely confident” to use appropriate questions to ask patients when providing tobacco cessation counseling versus 5.9% in the control group (p-value=0.005). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that provision of an intensive educational program on the treatment of tobacco use disorders results in improved tobacco-related knowledge and self-efficacy in tobacco cessation interventions.

Abstract BACKGROUND Fall-related injuries are important public health problem worldwide. We aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of fall-related injuries in a level 1 trauma center.METHOD A retrospective analysis of Qatar Trauma Registry data was conducted on patients admitted for fall-related injuries between 2010 and 2017. Comparative analyses of data by gender, age-groups and height of falls were performed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients, and in-hospital outcomes.RESULTS A total of 4040 patients with fall-related injuries were identified in the study duration which corresponds to the rate of 2.41 per 10,000 population in Qatar. The rate of fall injuries decreased over the years by 39%. The mean age of patients was 32.9±18.26 years. Males were predominant (89%), more likely to fall at workplace, fall from a greater height and experience polytrauma than females (p=0.001). Working age-group (20-59 years) were the major victims (73%). Most of the injuries were to the head (36%) followed by spines (29%) and chest (23%). Overall in-hospital mortality was 3%CONCLUSION Fall-related injuries remain as a significant burden in trauma center. Variations in pattern of injuries by age, gender and height of fall provide important information for targeted preventive measures.

<h3>Background</h3> Even though Road Traffic Injury [RTI] death rates have declined in Qatar,<sup>1</sup> they remain three times higher than Western European countries and are the leading cause of death.<sup>2</sup> This study will collect and analyse key sources of RTI data from Hamad Medical Corporation [HMC], the main national healthcare provider, to better define RTI epidemiology and make policy recommendations for national road safety priorities in Qatar. <h3>Methods</h3> A retrospective analysis of RTI data from three important sources of health sector data: the HMC Ambulance Service, major Emergency Department [ED] and trauma registry was conducted for a 12-month period in 2013–14. Standard measures of central tendency were computed and comparisons were made by age, gender, nationality and relative risk. <h3>Results</h3> 13,000 patient episodes were collected, summarised and analysed: 10,063 ambulance transportations, including 867 trauma patients, and 2,963 other ED visits. The results identify the key demographic, temporal and geographical features of this public health emergency. Indigenous Qatari males aged 15–19 have a relative risk of RTI 8–11 times higher than the general population and those aged 20–24 have a relative risk 6–9 times higher. RTIs in those aged 25 and above are overwhelmingly in non-Qataris and vary substantially in type of road use between the other Arabic and South Asian residents of this heterogeneous population. The results identify temporal, seasonal and cultural effects associated with RTIs and a map of accident “hot spots” by geographical zone. <h3>Conclusions</h3> It is possible to identify with a high degree of probability which road users are most at risk of harm, how, when and where. Using predictive data, public policy makers may be able to more effectively target regulatory, technological and behavioural interventions to those most at risk of harm. These interventions should focus on young male drivers, especially indigenous Qatari, and expatriate pedestrians, especially migrant labourers. <h3>References</h3> Mamtani R, Al-Thani MH, Al-Thani AA, Sheikh JI, Lowenfels AB.

Abstract Background In an era of globalization, travel-related illnesses have become a focus of public health concern. Pretravel consultation is an effective measure for the prevention travel-related illnesses. The purpose of this study was to assess the scope of primary care physicians’ (PCP) practice of travel medicine (TM) in Qatar and its associated predictors. Methods This was a cross-sectional study design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from all PCPs working in all 27 primary healthcare centers in Qatar. Descriptive and analytic statistics were used as appropriate. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to identify predictors of TM practice. Results Three hundred sixty-four PCPs participated in the study with a response rate of 89.2%. Most PCPs (91.1%) reported they provided pretravel consultations of which 72.7% provided < 10 consultations per month and almost half of them reported they spent between 10 and 19 minutes for pretravel consultation. Overall, pretravel advice content and frequency including vaccine and malaria chemoprophylaxis recommendations were inadequate. The significant predictors of high frequency of pretravel consultations (≥ 10/month) included PCPs who had past experience in TM (AOR 2.082, 95% CI: 1.209, 3.585) and multilingual physicians (AOR 2.067, 95% CI: 1.180, 3.619). Patients with chronic diseases and pregnant women were specific patient groups more frequently counselled about pretravel advice. Frequently encountered post-travel illnesses included travelers’ diarrhea, respiratory diseases, and fever. Conclusions The majority of PCPs provided pretravel consultations. However, the frequency and content of consultations were inadequate. Past experience in TM and multilingual physicians were important predictors of providing a high frequency of pretravel consultation. The findings of this study identified several gaps in PCPs’ TM practice. Specific measures should be designed and implemented to promote healthy travel and reduce the burden of travel-related illnesses in Qatar.

Logic modelling is an endorsed management method for the effective planning, implementation and evaluation of educational programs. This approach is expected to find measurable results that will bring benefits at individual, group and community levels. This empirical study gives evidence of the importance and effectiveness of planned and structured walking interventions in Qatar. The use of the logic model brings measurable achievements, providing a systematic approach and identification of results in the short term as formative evaluation, in the medium term as process evaluation and in the long term as outcome evaluation. In a walking intervention, formative evaluation provides needs assessment results, process evaluation provides physical activity and motivational levels, and outcome evaluation brings changes in lifestyle habits towards healthier choices. Walking interventions aimed at promoting physical activity within a structured approach provide opportunities to learn about the health benefits of physical activity, increase participation levels, enhance motivation levels and guide the community towards behavioural changes to reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases due to sedentary lifestyle. Walking interventions are effectively assessed through step counts using pedometers and mobile applications connected to a web database. The results confirm the effectiveness of walking intervention programs when the logic model is used as a tool to evaluate participants’ engagement in the walking program. The authors of this paper recommend the implementation of planned intervention programs in Qatar with the purpose of impacting the community at national level through physical activity guidelines supporting the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Kicking off on Nov 20, the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been hailed by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, as “a unique opportunity to show how sport can promote health”. WHO, the Qatar Ministry of Public Health, FIFA, and the organising committee hope to create a “Legacy for Sport and Health”, aiming to protect the health of all those involved, promote healthy lifestyles, and promote health at future mass gatherings. But will this World Cup really be good for health? The evidence is not promising. International sporting events provide an opportunity for unity and promotion of the health benefits of physical activity, but promises of a legacy often go unrealised. An evidence-based assessment published in The Lancet in 2021 indicated that Olympic Games have not improved population levels of physical activity and are often a missed public health opportunity. High-level sponsors of this World Cup include Budweiser, McDonalds, and Coca Cola—companies driven to profit from unhealthy lifestyles—as well as major carbon polluters. The event has been shrouded in concern over human rights abuses in Qatar. Qatar's economy relies on migrant workers—an estimated 2·2 million of the 2·9 million population, and 95% of the workforce, in Qatar are migrants, many of whom are from south and southeast Asia working in construction. Qatar uses a sponsorship system, termed kafala, which binds migrant workers’ legal status to their employer. Although reforms such as allowing workers to change jobs and a minimum wage were introduced in 2020, workers continue to be exploited and excluded from the country's other labour laws. Workers have described overcrowded accommodation, inadequate nutrition, and negligence to occupational hazards. Access to health care is dependent on employers and only 7% of the population in Qatar are thought to be covered by at least one social protection benefit. The Qatari Government's disregard for migrant workers’ right to health violates international standards and ignores the serious consequences to migrant worker health and national and global sustainable development. Another major concern for the event are the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Same-sex sexual activity is criminalised in Qatar; it also operates Sharia courts, in which it is possible for Muslim men who engage in same-sex intimacy to be sentenced to death. Campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights is not allowed, and people cannot legally change gender. Comments from Khalid Salman, Qatar's World Cup ambassador, referring to homosexuality as “damage in the mind”, speaks to the stigma within the country and perpetuates long-standing discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in football. Although there have been reassurances for the safety of LGBTQ+ visitors, calls for LGBTQ+ people to respect Qatari law by hiding who they are compromises efforts towards global equality for this community. There is a strong debate about how footballers, pundits, and fans should engage with these issues. Some might suggest focusing on the football. But if the World Cup really wants to ensure a health legacy, one way is to speak out against such injustices and use the event as a platform to call for change. Same-sex sexual activity is criminalised in 69 jurisdictions worldwide, including 32 of 54 African countries. Criminalising such activity must be abolished because it has devastating consequences for health and perpetuates societal homophobia and transphobia. Migrant workers are often discriminated against and excluded from health-care services globally. There were 169 million international migrant workers in 2019; two-thirds of migrant workers are in high-income countries, often coming from low-income and middle-income countries. The UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health lays out the valuable contribution of migrant workers to the global economy, and how it is often to the detriment of their health. Common barriers to accessing health care include exclusion from health entitlements, language barriers, and fear of deportation. The exclusion of migrant workers and LGBTQ+ people from many health systems is holding back progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Human rights abuses against LGBTQ+ people and migrant workers are global health issues, not just Qatari ones. The legacy of the 2022 World Cup for health can still be shaped. Not least, the World Cup is an opportunity to contemplate social responsibility, and for sporting organisations, global health institutions, medical journals, and any associations planning global events to reflect on the countries they partner with and question the implications for health. It is not just about what takes place on the pitch. For more on reports from migrant workers see https://www.equidem.org/assets/downloads/Equidem_Qatar_World_Cup_Stadiums_Report_Final.pdfFor more on criminalisation of same-sex sexual activity see https://ilga.org/state-sponsored-homophobia-report-2020-global-legislation-overview Physical activity behaviours in adolescence: current evidence and opportunities for interventionYoung people aged 10–24 years constitute 24% of the world's population; investing in their health could yield a triple benefit—eg, today, into adulthood, and for the next generation. However, in physical activity research, this life stage is poorly understood, with the evidence dominated by research in younger adolescents (aged 10–14 years), school settings, and high-income countries. Globally, 80% of adolescents are insufficiently active, and many adolescents engage in 2 h or more daily recreational screen time. Full-Text PDF The UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: the health of a world on the moveWith one billion people on the move or having moved in 2018, migration is a global reality, which has also become a political lightning rod. Although estimates indicate that the majority of global migration occurs within low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), the most prominent dialogue focuses almost exclusively on migration from LMICs to high-income countries (HICs). Nowadays, populist discourse demonises the very same individuals who uphold economies, bolster social services, and contribute to health services in both origin and destination locations.

Background: Antibiotics act as a therapeutic weapon in eradicating pathogens. Antibiotics are the most common group of drugs misused for self-medication. This is a global public health concern and is one of the major contributing factors to antibiotic resistance (ABR). Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and beliefs of the public in Qatar regarding appropriate antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used to collect the information from the participants based on an adapted questionnaire from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) between September – November 2018. The study enrolled 1000 participants who visited two large emergency departments (ED) of public hospitals in Qatar. Results: The mean knowledge and belief scores were 55.07±15.87 and 66.57±23.13 respectively. 42% of the participants had moderate knowledge regarding antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance. The majority of the participants (64.8%) believed that antibiotics fight against bacteria and viruses. The educational level significantly influences the belief of the participants. Graduates possess a higher belief score of 11.75±12.5 (P=0.001) compared to others. Conclusion: The key findings of this study highlighted the existing gap in knowledge among the public. A community-based health education program should be launched to raise citizen responsibility to use antibiotics judiciously.

This study investigates the health information-seeking behaviours of women in Qatar, to identify sources and resources used to obtain health information, and particularly whether women used libraries as a source of health information. An online survey questionnaire was used to explore health information-seeking behaviour among adult women (aged 18 years or over) living in Qatar. Results were obtained from 1150 participants. Most were confident in their health information-seeking behaviors: they understood how to use the information to improve their health, were able to find reliable health information, and could discuss their health with their doctor. More than half (55.11%) obtained information about staying healthy from reading, watching educational videos, and online searches. The most commonly used sources of health information were search engines such as Google and Yahoo (43.37%). Internet use was higher among younger and more educated women. About threequarters (74.50%) of the participants did not use libraries to obtain health information. Both Qatari and non-Qatari women were active seekers of health information, especially from online sources. Future studies need to consider how to involve older people, or those without internet access, and use more qualitative data, perhaps from interviews, to improve understanding of behaviours. Future studies might also examine whether married respondents, or those with children, adopted different behaviors. The study suggests that public libraries need to market their services, including online resources, and educate the public on how to evaluate online sources of information.

Objectives: The emergence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 was accompanied by uncertainty about its epidemiological and clinical characteristics Once camelus dromedarius was found to be the natural reservoir of the virus public health systems across the Arabian Peninsula came under unprecedented pressure to control its transmission This study describes how a One Health approach was used in Qatar to manage the MERS-CoV outbreak between 2012 and 2017 Method(s): The One Health approach adopted brought together professionals working in the health, animal welfare, and environmental sectors To manage the MERS outbreak the Qatar National Outbreak Control Taskforce (OCT) was reactivated in November 2012 and experts from the animal health sector were invited to join Later, technical expertise was requested from the WHO, FAO, CDC, Erasmus University (EMC), and Public Health England (PHE) A One Health roadmap was subsequently delivered addressing surveillance and investigation, epidemiological studies and increased local diagnostic capacity Result(s): The joint OCT, once trained, was allocated resources and had access to high risk areas to gather evidence on the potential source of the virus and investigate all cases within 24-48 hours of reporting Lack of sufficient technical guidance on veterinary surveillance and poor risk perception among vulnerable populations constituted major obstacles to maintaining systematic One Health performance Conclusion(s): A One Health approach is essential for generating evidence and implementing control measures to restrain MERS-CoV and other zoonotic diseases

Abstract Background Violence is a global public health problem leading to injuries, long-term physical, sexual or mental health problems and mortality. The burden of violence-related injuries remains understudied in the Arabian Gulf region. The present study aimed to describe the epidemiology of violence-related injuries in Qatar. Methods A retrospective analysis of trauma registry data from a level 1 trauma center was conducted by including all patients presented to the hospital following violence-related injuries in the duration between June 2010 and June 2017. Results The incidence rate of violence-related injuries was 4.6 per 100,000 population per year; significantly higher rate in males (5.5/100,000 males/year vs. 1.8/100,000 females/year) and in younger population, specifically in 25-34 years age-group (41%). South Asians (55%) were the principal victims. Interpersonal violence (IPV: 71%) was the major contributor. Three quarters of the pediatric injuries were caused by IPV and mortality was 8% which in fact was higher than the overall mortality. In-hospital mortality was 6.4%. Higher case fatality rate was reported in females (16% vs.5%, p=0.001). Conclusions Although the rate of violence-related injuries in Qatar was low, its disproportionate burden in the South Asians and young population warrants an evidence-based public health approach in violence prevention that addressing the risk factors. In addition, its burden in the pediatric population is also alarming.

Objective People with diabetes mellitus have a high risk of acquiring respiratory tract infections (RTIs), yet little is known about their utilisation of healthcare services compared with people without diabetes. This study aimed to compare the utilisation of healthcare services for RTIs between individuals with and without diabetes attending primary healthcare centres (PHCCs) in Qatar. Design A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using an electronic database of all individuals who had a diagnosis of RTI. Setting PHCCs in Qatar from July 2015 to December 2017. Participants Participants in the study were all adult individuals (aged ≥18 years) who visited the primary healthcare facilities and were diagnosed with an RTI during the study period. Primary and outcome measures For each participant, visits to the healthcare facility, antibiotic use and use of other medications were extracted from the electronic database and compared between participants with and without a diabetes diagnosis. Results A total of 32 857 participants were included, of whom 7407 (22.5%) had a diabetes diagnosis. Results from a negative binomial regression indicate that diabetes diagnosis was significantly associated with increased visits to the healthcare facility (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.10, 95% CI 1.076 to 1.134, p<0.001), antibiotic use (IRR 1.09, 95% CI 1.046 to 1.145, p<0.001) and use of other medications (IRR 1.11, 95% CI 1.078 to 1.143, p<0.001). Conclusions A diabetes diagnosis among patients with RTI was associated with higher utilisation of healthcare services. Given the added costs to the healthcare system, prevention of diabetes will have additional benefits to the healthcare system, apart from diabetes-associated costs alone.

Abstract Background There is inconclusive evidence whether pregnancy exacerbates COVID-19 symptoms or not, and scarce data from the Middle East and North Africa region. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between pregnancy and COVID-19 symptoms in Qatar. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out using data of all women with confirmed COVID-19, comparing pregnant and non-pregnant women of child-bearing age (18-49 years). Data of all COVID-19 cases were collected by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar, between March and September 2020. Symptoms were compared by pregnancy status and classified into moderate and severe. Multivariable logistic and poisson regression was carried out to investigate the association between pregnancy and severity of COVID-19 symptoms. Results During the study period, 105744 individuals were diagnosed with COVID-19, 16908 were women of childbearing age. From that sample, 799 women who were pregnant (mean age 29.9 years (SD 5.2)) and 16109 women who were not pregnant (mean age 33.1 years (SD 7.8)). After multivariable logistic regression, pregnancy was associated with a 1.4-fold higher odds of reporting any symptoms of COVID-19 (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.18-1.68), and 1.3-fold higher odds of reporting shortness of breath (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.02-1.63). After multivariable poisson regression, pregnancy was also associated with a higher number of symptoms (IRR 1.03, 95%CI 0.98-1.08). Conclusion Our findings suggest that, in this setting, pregnant women are more likely to have symptomatic COVID-19, and shortness of breath, compared to non-pregnant women of childbearing age.

Objectives: Mass vaccination has been a key component in the effort to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Different countries have formulated their mass vaccination campaigns in different ways and with different priorities, with varying results. This study focuses on the case of Qatar in comparison with regional neighbors in the Gulf Cooperation Community (GCC) and with global benchmarks (G7 and OECD nations) in terms of the deployment of its mass vaccination program. Methods: Data on national vaccine administration and policy were obtained from Our World in Data and the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker for the period of 25 November 2020, when public vaccination first began to be implemented within the GCC, and June 2021, when Qatar’s mass vaccination campaign concluded. Factors compared cross-nationally included the total number of vaccine doses administered, doses administered per 100 population, the time taken to reach certain vaccination thresholds (5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 doses per 100 population), and policy regarding administration to specific priority groups. Cumulative vaccination rates were also compared graphically by date. Results: A descriptive comparison of vaccination rates illustrated that there were similar aggregate patterns among the GCC, G7, and OECD groups of countries, and that there was a great deal of heterogeneity in the patterns of vaccination between countries within each of these groups. The mass vaccination program in Qatar outpaced the aggregate GCC, G7, and OECD groups. Conclusion: There were large between-country differences in the speed of mass vaccination progress which did not appear to be directly explained by national wealth. It is suggested that administrative and program management factors could account for some of these differences.

Purpose: The data available on the incidence and mortality rates of head and neck cancer types (HNCs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) have relied on global trends and covered only certain cancer sites, types or certain age groups. This study aimed to assess the incidence and mortality rates of head and neck cancer (HNCs) within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, providing insights into their geographic variability in 2020. Methods: Prediction of the magnitude of the disease to 2040 was explored based on demographic projections. Estimates of incidence and mortality and the population projections were extracted from the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) database and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs respectively for the time frame 2020 to 2040. Additionally, we analyzed the distribution of cases and deaths by age and sex for both time periods. Results: The analysis indicates varying patterns in HNC rates across GCC countries in 2020, with Oman and Saudi Arabia carrying the highest burden. Projections for 2040 reveal a substantial increase in new HNC cases and related deaths, particularly in Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain. Furthermore, incidence rates are predicted to rise significantly for individuals aged 50 and older, while remaining relatively stable for those under 50. With regards to sex, males generally exhibit higher rates, except in Qatar. Conclusion: HNC burden is anticipated to rise significantly in the GCC, with variations per age, sex and geographical location. By 2040, a 2-3-fold increase in HNCs in the GCC is anticipated, emphasizing the need for focused public health strategies to address this rising health challenge. Keywords: head and neck neoplasms, projection, globocan, cancer prevention

Background: Developing effective public health policies and strategies for interventions necessitate an assessment of the structure, dynamics, disease rates and causes of death in a population. Lately, Qatar has undertaken development resurgence in health and economy that resulted in improving the standard of health services leading to enhanced life expectancy as was evident in the entire Qatari population (i.e., Qatari nationals and non-Qatari residents). No study has attempted to examine the influence of improving the health services on the homogenous, stable population of Qatari nationals. Objective: The present study examines the population structure and dynamics and the related changes in the cause-specific mortality rates and disease prevalence in the Qatari nationals. Methods: This is a retrospective, analytic descriptive analysis covering a period of 5 years (2007-2011) and utilizes a range of data sources from the State of Qatar including the population structure, disease-related mortality rates, and the prevalence of a range of chronic and infectious diseases. Factors reflecting population dynamics such as crude death (CDR), crude birth (CBR), total fertility (TFR) and infant mortality (IMR) rates were also calculated. Results: The Qatari nationals is an expansive population with an annual growth rate of ~4% and a stable M:F ratio. The CDR declined by 15% within the study period whereas the CBR was almost stable. The total disease-specific death rate, however, was decreased in the Qatari nationals by 23% due to the decline in mortality rates attributed to diseases of the blood and immune system (43%), nervous system (44%) and cardiovascular system (41%). There was a high prevalence of a range of chronic diseases whereas very low frequencies of the infectious diseases within the study population. Conclusion: Public health strategies, approaches and programs, developed to reduce diseases burden and the related death, should be tailored to target the population of Qatari nationals since this population exhibits characteristics that vary from the entire Qatari population.

Abstract Background Globally, falls are a major public health concern and it is the second leading cause of death due to unintentional injury. The prevalence of falls in older adults with diabetes is unknown in many parts of the world. This study aims to explore the association between diabetes-related comorbidities and falls among older adults with diabetes. The study aims to provide evidence and advice for the preventing falls among this vulnerable population. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of all older adults with diabetes aged 60 years or older with at least one encounter with the primary health care centers in Qatar during the period 2017-2022. Data on documented falls, demographic variables, and medical comorbidities were extracted from all primary care centers in Qatar. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to address the aim of the study. Results A total of 38,285 older adults with diabetes had at least one encounter with the primary care clinics. The median age was 68.0 years, 56.8% were males, and 40.6% of Qatari nationality.The prevalence of falls was 8.9% (95% CI 6.6 - 6.9). Age, gender (female), nationality, diabetes retinopathy, neuropathy, dyslipidemia, and hypertension were independently associated with increased prevalence of falls. Conclusions Given a growing population of older adults in the MENA region, the prevalence of falls is a public health concern. The risk factors identified in this study suggest the need for active screening for risk of falls and preventive interventions in this region. Key messages • Prevalence of falls among older individuals with diabetes is relatively high and requires public health attention. • Females, and older adults with diabetes retinopathy, neuropathy, dyslipidemia, and hypertension are at a higher risk for falls in our sample.
