Health Ministry Starts Food Sector Exams
The Ministry of Public Health has launched an optional service for testing food handlers' permits through accredited centers outside Qatar. This initiative aims to assess the competence of workers in the food sector before they are brought into the country and to enhance food safety. The tests are available in both Arabic and English and provide detailed reports that help establishments identify strengths and areas for improvement among their staff, contributing to increased worker efficiency and better health practices. Upon passing the test outside Qatar, the permit issuance process can be completed without the need for testing within the country, with future plans to make the permit mandatory. This service is part of the Ministry's efforts to develop the food safety system since 2021, in which the number of licensed food handlers in Qatar has reached 10,630.
