The program attracted a mix of clinicians and non-clinicians, healthcare executives and policymakers, and private sector support service companies. Among the participants, several prominent actors of Qatar's health system were represented, including Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Sidra Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, and Qatar University. Qatar is committed to excellence in healthcare, from basic research to healthcare delivery, and that is one of the objectives of Qatar´s National Vision 2030," said Dr. Pablo Martin de Holan, Dean, HEC Paris in Qatar. "This program is of particular relevance for healthcare professionals working within the delivery ecosystem across the country as it provides tools and ideas for the successful implementation of the strategic priorities in the healthcare sector." Having focused on healthcare policy and the shift towards value-based care in the New York module, the Doha module centred around healthcare management, where participants gained a deeper understanding of the fundamental business models in healthcare, the role of disruptive innovation, and how digital transformation has been changing managerial decision-making and entrepreneurial efforts. Dr. Javaid Sheikh, Dean, Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, commented: "It is our belief that excellence in healthcare at the point of delivery can only be possible within a supportive framework in which the very highest standards are reached in all associated areas of operation, including medical education, research and, of course, management and policy formation. This program provides a wealth of opportunities for participants to interact closely with faculty and peers across these interlinked sectors, enabling them to draw detailed and accurate insights about the strategic imperatives required to allow Qatar to continue to push global standards in healthcare ever higher."
