MoH offers Food Handlers' Exam abroad
The Ministry of Public Health has launched the Food Handler Permit Examination Service outside Qatar, aimed at assessing the competence of workers in the food sector before their arrival to the country. The service is optionally available in several countries through accredited centers, and it works to improve food safety standards by evaluating skills and providing detailed performance reports. This makes it easier for establishments to verify workers' proficiency and avoid re-examinations within Qatar. If a worker passes the exam abroad, the establishment can issue the permit without the need for a retest. The ministry also plans to make the permit a mandatory requirement in the future to align with safety standards. It is expected that this measure will contribute to enhancing workforce efficiency and promoting healthy practices in food establishments.
