Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation (QF), attended the graduation of Qatar University’s (QU) 49th Health Sector cohort (Class of 2026), comprising 349 graduates.

This cohort includes 130 graduates from the College of Health Sciences, 94 from the College of Pharmacy, 36 from the College of Nursing, 66 from the College of Medicine, and 23 from the College of Dental Medicine.

The ceremony brought together undergraduate and postgraduate graduates across QU’s Health Sector and marked a key milestone with the graduation of the first cohort from the College of Nursing, reflecting the University’s continued expansion of its academic offerings in support of the healthcare sector in Qatar.

For the first time, the ceremony also featured the Health Oath Recitation, symbolizing graduates’ transition into professional practice and reaffirming the values at the heart of health professions—service, responsibility, compassion, and integrity. The moment marked not only the completion of their academic journey, but also their commitment to ethical and professional standards in patient care.

The oath further reflected the Health Sector’s role at QU as a national leader in health professions education, preparing graduates for practice across medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, biomedical sciences, public health, nutrition, and physiotherapy. It also highlighted the sector’s emphasis on interprofessional education, where students learn with, from, and about one another within a shared commitment to improving health and serving communities.

After the ceremony, Her Highness met with a group of high-achieving graduates from across the Health Sector colleges, engaging in a conversation on their academic journeys and future aspirations.
