Dear Nurses and Midwives of Hamad Medical Corporation, the State of Qatar, and our esteemed colleagues across the Arab region.

It is with immense pride and great pleasure that I welcome you to the 6th Arab Nursing and Midwifery Conference, proudly hosted by the State of Qatar, with support and partnership of MOPH,PHCC, Sidra M., Aspetar, QU, UDST, Qatar Army forces military medical services, Lekhwiya Clinic, Medical Services of the Ministry of Interior, and Naufar under the theme:

"Arab Nurses and Midwives: Empowered to Achieve a Strong, Sustainable, and Healthier Region."

Today, we celebrate more than a profession, we celebrate a community of dedicated nurses and midwives whose compassion, expertise, innovation, and leadership continue to transform healthcare and improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities across our region.

As we gather in Qatar, we reaffirm our shared commitment to advancing nursing and midwifery in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030, the National Health Strategy, the Hamad Medical Corporation Strategy 2024–2030, and the Nursing and Midwifery Strategy. Together, these national and organizational priorities provide a clear roadmap for building a healthier population, strengthening our healthcare workforce, and delivering world-class, person-centered care.

Our success depends on four interconnected pillars that shape the future of our profession:

Clinical Practice: delivering safe, compassionate, evidence-based, and person-centered care that places patients and families at the heart of everything we do.

Education: fostering lifelong learning, developing future generations of nurses and midwives, and ensuring our workforce is equipped to meet the evolving needs of healthcare.

Research and Innovation: creating new knowledge, embracing innovation and digital transformation, and translating evidence into practice to improve health outcomes across our region.

Leadership: empowering every nurse and midwife to inspire positive change, influence healthcare policy, strengthen collaboration, and lead with courage, integrity, and excellence.

To every nurse and midwife serving in Hamad Medical Corporation and across the State of Qatar, thank you. Your dedication, resilience, professionalism, and unwavering commitment are the driving force behind our healthcare system. Every patient you care for, every student you mentor, every research project you contribute to, and every team you lead strengthens our profession and inspires future generations.

To our Nurses and Midwives joining us from across the Arab world, welcome. This conference is more than a gathering of experts, it is a platform to learn from one another, exchange ideas, come with new IBDAA innovation, build lasting partnerships, and shape the future of nursing and midwifery together.

Let us seize this opportunity to IBDAA innovate, collaborate, and lead with purpose. Let us continue to empower one another, challenge ourselves to reach new heights of excellence, and work collectively toward a stronger, more sustainable, and healthier Arab region.

Together, we are not only shaping the future of nursing and midwifery, we are shaping the future of healthcare.

Welcome to Qatar.

Welcome to the 6th Arab Nursing and Midwifery Conference 2026.

Thank you.
