Currently, the Supreme Council of Health is embarking on an ambitious program to enhance the wellness of the people of Qatar so that a vibrant, healthy, and productive society can be established for today and for the future. The essence of that program is ’Caring for the Future’.

Caring for the Future means promoting public health, encouraging healthy lifestyles, providing community-based primary care, and ensuring that, when needed, some of the world’s most advanced and highest quality care is available in tertiary(which is) medical facilities. These tertiary facilities will not only provide quality care but also are expected to be research leaders on the frontiers of science.

The SCH will oversee and regulate the medical marketplace, promoting high quality care through use of the latest information technology and support of a health care financing program that provides access to all while establishing incentives for good resource stewardship. The SCH will promote evidence- based policies that seek to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and their families, and will measure change against established objectives to be certain progress is being achieved.

Infocenter is happy to announce the launch of the new Qatar Nannies Teaching Academy website, provided to visitors in English and Arabic.

QNTA provides high-quality training to Muslim Arabic-speaking nannies that have the capacity to teach Islamic values. Our training programs focus on comprehensive childcare, enabling graduates to ensure the optimal physical and mental development of the child under their care. Moreover, since the nannies have a similar religious and cultural background, they would ensure that the child grows up in an environment based on Islamic values.

QNTA is a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. Its aim is to enrich the lives of Arab Muslim families by providing training and academic support to Arabic-speaking nannies to teach and promote Islamic values at homes, which falls under the general aim of Qatar Foundation to help foster a developed society in Qatar, while enhancing the cultural landscape and protecting Qatar’s heritage.

Infocenter launches the new and improved, responsive website for Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing.

Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing (BQFP) is owned by Qatar Foundation and managed by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.

Secondly, BQFP, Qatar’s first publishing house, aims to promote the love of reading and writing, and to help establish a vibrant literary culture in Qatar and the Middle East through reading events, book groups and other initiatives, such as World Book Day. BQFP also wants to cultivate new literary talent especially in Arabic by organizing events to support the development of aspiring new literary talent and running creative writing workshops.

BQFP’s third aim is to achieve the transfer of publishing and related skills into Qatar through regular internships and secondments in Doha and at Bloomsbury’s headquarters in London, training courses in key areas of publishing, and mentoring of aspiring Qatari publishers. Within this area, BQFP is committed to helping improve standards of translation into and out of Arabic beginning with the first annual BQFP International Translation Conference being run in May 2010 in Doha in partnership with Carnegie-Mellon University Qatar.
