Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030) has envisioned a healthy and prosperous through National Development Strategies as well as National Health Strategies. Health being given a high priority in the agenda of Government; national health strategies are deployed to accelerate the reach of healthcare services and to work as an anchor for multifaceted health development in the country. Thus, the overarching NHS2 coupled with timely policy frameworks could successfully combat the impact of the pandemic in the country. However, there is a felt need to observe the impact of changing scenarios (like pandemic) on the care given to vulnerable groups like people suffering with physical and mental health challenges. Having understood this priority, present research work aims to share the strides that the country is taking in addressing the demand-supply gaps in the state-of-the-art healthcare delivery system, particularly to meet the needs of vulnerable people of the society. Also, the research work invites a dialogue as well as insightful inputs from the global audience to overcome the mental health challenges in long-term perspective.
