Abstract

Primary health care plays a vital role in a nation’s public health care system. The importance of an effective and comprehensive primary health care system is growing with increasing life expectancy and growing chronic disease burden. We document the recent establishment and devel-opment of a primary health care system in the state of Qatar. Primary health care Corporation Qatar is an arm of the Ministry of Public Health and is delivering safe and effective primary health care services to the population of Qatar via its 26 primary health care centers. The development of primary health care services in Qatar can be used as an example to inform development of similar systems in nations, which lack developed primary health care systems.
