We need to stand together as a community and work to support Qatar’s public and private sectors during these trying times.”

Volunteers’ responsibilities will include supporting medical practice (clinical), allied health practice, public health awareness, logistics and more. They will be based at medical facilities across the country.

Suitable volunteers will attend a two-hour induction session plus a two-hour job-specific training session before proceeding with their duties.
