Leveraging Primary Health Care Corporation partnerships in preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar: A position paper
Background: Hosting 2022 FIFA World Cup (WC2022) in Qatar is a mega event that can shape a country's development1. Partnerships as preparedness efforts for mass gatherings within the health system can ensure a safe and efficient practice in hosting countries23. This work aims to provide an analysis of the existing literature around partnership frameworks to inform the development of an innovative partnership framework for Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC). In addition it also discusses the preparedness plan at PHCC for the WC2022 to promote staff and national resilience. Methods: Various databases such as Academic Search Complete Education Research Complete Medline and Web of Science were used to search for relevant studies from 2010 to 2021. The search strategy consisted of search terms including partnership framework and health. Moreover searching was conducted by title abstract and full texts and was limited to studies in English language. The content analysis was performed to analyze the relevant publications. Results: A total of 18 studies were considered. The related literatures were analyzed to present the emerging themes which revealed four major themes: collaboration engagement transformation and risk mitigation. Leveraging the current primary care partnership framework will influence the ability of healthcare professionals to adapt and respond to the upcoming mass gathering. National and international partners must recognize and embrace the need for diverse training programs during the WC2022. The preparedness for the WC2022 calls upon clear assessments from various stakeholders at PHCC that are tied to the needs for emerging roles and services. Conclusion: This work offers a new perspective on the current PHCC partnership framework and provides some recommendations for infrastructure commissioning and engagement pathways among future public and private partners. Leveraging PHCC partnership framework and transforming it into a holistic framework of national resilience during mass gathering is of significance.F0001 F0002a F0002b F0002e F0002d F0002e
Myths, misconceptions, and hesitancy in people residing in Qatar toward mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: An experience exchange from Qatar University health center
The hesitancy in taking COVID-19 vaccines is a complex process influenced by several factors including individual social and cultural. Health literacy and community awareness around mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are critical for successfully combating the pandemic. Healthcare professionals including family physicians and nurses can help increase community awareness and mitigate some misconceptions and hesitancy regarding mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in people's attitudes. Therefore in this study we aimed to explore how the interaction between an individual's social identities such as gender ethnicity culture knowledge and belief impact their hesitancy and attitudes toward mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to describe our experience in dealing with people residing in Qatar from the perspective of healthcare practitioners from the Qatar University Health Center during the period when mRNA COVID-19 vaccines was introduced in a time frame of 6 months (April to October 2021).
We identified several factors associated with the reluctance to receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines once vaccination services were available affordable and accessible to everyone in Qatar (Table 1). Most individuals were hesitant and refused to take mRNA COVID-19 vaccines owing to the unjustified myths and fear about potential side effects of vaccines in general and unknown long-term effects of vaccination especially among women who were uneducated. We believe we have been able to put forth a fair unbiased and balanced argument between an individual's right to take or refuse the vaccine and the overall benefits to the public and community health in terms of the overall community immunity when the vast majority of the population will be vaccinated. Our experience could assist in developing culturally sensitive and tailored community outreach programs to increase community awareness as it is the cornerstone on which public health can fight the irrational myths fear misconceptions vaccine hesitancy and improve vaccination coverages. Moreover our shared experiences might be able to better prepare future launching of pandemic vaccination campaigns in order to minimize vaccine hesitancy.
Beyond the hospital walls: The lived experiences of Sidra's radiologists with home-based picture archiving and communication system during a global crisis
Objective: This study explores the adaptation of radiologists at Sidra Medicine Qatar to the home-based picture archiving and communication system (HPACS) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This qualitative study used a phenomenological methodology to delve into the experiences of radiologists using HPACS which emerged as a crucial tool for remote radiology practice during the pandemic. It highlights the perceived benefits barriers and challenges of using HPACS and emphasizes its role in ensuring continuity of patient care and diagnostics while adhering to safety protocols. Results: The study reveals how HPACS facilitated work efficiency and safety and also presented challenges such as workspace limitations and technical issues. The findings suggest a transformative impact of HPACS on the field of radiology and indicate a future marked by increasingly digital and decentralized practices. Conclusion: This research contributes to understanding the adaptation of healthcare professionals to remote work technologies and provides insights for improving remote radiology systems and preparing for future crises.
