Al-Sharq: Psychotherapy not covered by insurance
The article addresses the challenges facing mental health services in Qatar, where patients suffer from appointment delays and high treatment costs, especially in the private sector, where sessions range between 500 to 1,500 Qatari Riyals and are often not covered by insurance. Proposed solutions include establishing an online psychotherapy platform at affordable prices, increasing the number of service providers, expanding training programs, and strengthening partnerships with the private sector to enhance capacity and reduce waiting times. The organizations also emphasized the importance of cultivating a mental health culture and facilitating access to services, along with regulating prices, ensuring privacy, expanding free mental health support services, and promoting early assessment and intervention initiatives. The aim is to improve service quality and lessen the burden on the public sector.
