A photographic exhibition celebrating Qatar’s healthcare workforce and their efforts during the current pandemic has opened in the courtyard of Doha’s Fire Station arts complex.

The “Healthcare Heroes” exhibition will run until the end of the year.

The exhibition launched to coincide with the biennial WISH Summit for Health, which will take place virtually from November 15-19, 2020, features individuals who between them represent the many different faces of healthcare in Qatar.

As well as frontline healthcare workers, such as doctors, nurses, and paramedics, the exhibition also features those working behind the scenes as part of efforts to keep the community safe.

Those chosen to take part in the exhibition are members of teams at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC), and the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).

Across the exhibition, thirteen men and women are depicted, both masked, as they would be at work, and unmasked, as they would be when at home.
