If so, we would like to invite you to take part in Qatar Biobank, an initiative involving large numbers of Qatar’s population. Qatar Biobank was created to give Qatar’s people better chances of avoiding serious illnesses and to promote better health for our future generations.
Qatar Biobank was created in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation and the Ministry of Public Health to enable local scientists to conduct medical research on prevalent health issues in Qatar. Qatar Biobank will make vital health research possible through its collection of biological samples and information about the health and lifestyle of Qatar’s population.
