Doha: HE Vice president of Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) Eng. Ebrahim Hashim Al Sada inaugurated the seventh annual forum for foreign missions and offices, which included high-level attendance from the relevant state institutions, alongside the participation of offices and external programs from 14 countries.

In his opening speech, HE Al Sada emphasized that "this forum brings QRCS and its partners in both official and non-official organizations working in humanitarian fields together, whether at the leadership level or among field workers, because it allows for exchanging visions and experiences, benefiting from the experience and capabilities of all parties, leading to more integration and a stronger partnership."

Additionally, His Excellency recalled the successes of QRCS for the current year, noting that 372 projects worth 390 million Qatari Riyals have been initiated for the benefit of four million people in 2024.

Among these projects, over 137 have been approved at the external level, which encompass areas such as health, shelter, water and sanitation, food security, emergency relief, livelihood projects, and education.

As part of his remarks, he highlighted the recent achievements of QRCS, including the medical sector receiving the ISO Information Security certificate (ISO27001), which capped Qatar's excellence and leadership in the health sector, which was preceded by Canadian accreditation.
