Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has been announced by Ipsos, the world’s third largest research agency, as one of 10 Qatari organisations that proved most supportive in dealing with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The French market research and consulting firm has recently conducted a series of in-depth studies to understand how the coronavirus outbreak impacted the attitudes, behaviours, and future expectations of consumers and global markets. In the MENA region, eight countries, including Qatar, were selected to track public sentiment and behaviour in light of the coronavirus outbreak.
Through online interviews, Ipsos asked nationals and residents of Qatar which companies they thought have best participated in supporting the country during the current COVID-19 crisis.
The top 10 choices were Al-Meera, Doha Bank, Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), ooredoo, Qatar Airways, Qatar Charity (QC), Qatar Foundation (QF), Qatar National Bank (QNB), Qatar Petroleum (QP), and QRCS. According to the report, QRCS’s successful coronavirus control efforts were spotlighted in many research studies by Ipsos and other multinational firms concerned with the pandemic.
Within its public information strategy, QRCS launched a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about protective measures, including lectures, social media messages, and mass media materials.
Over 18,000 volunteers were deployed to take part in helping others.
