Qatar's cancer care strategy is shaped by the National Cancer Strategy (2011) and subsequent frameworks 2017–22, leading to the Qatar Cancer Plan 2023–2026. These initiatives emphasise prevention, early detection, and evidence-based management to reduce the effects of cancer on patients and the health-care system. Investments in advanced medical infrastructure, cutting-edge technology, and specialised professionals have considerably strengthened cancer care. However, challenges remain, including late-stage diagnoses and gaps in public awareness, which underscores the need for enhanced education and global collaboration. Precision medicine, public health initiatives, and research-driven policies position Qatar as a regional leader in oncology. By leveraging its robust health-care and research ecosystem, Qatar aims to advance cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Aligned with WHO Eastern Mediterranean region goals, the country strives to establish a model of excellence in oncological services.
