In a remarkable achievement that enhances its distinguished record of success, Emirates Health Services (EHS) secured second place among 32 federal entities in the “UAE Digital Government Online Services Index’’ for 2023.
This index comprises two key indicators which are the Digital Participation and Open Data Index, and the Digital Services Quality Index. Developed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), this comprehensive and modern framework evaluates the digital services offered by federal government entities across the UAE.
Mubaraka Ibrahim, Executive Director of Artificial Intelligence and Acting Chief Information Officer at Emirates Health Services, emphasised that this achievement is a clear testament to EHS’ commitment to the highest standards of excellence.
She emphasised Emirates Health Services’ determination to pursue further accomplishments that enhance government operations and provide exceptional digital services, thereby contributing to the UAE’s Digital Government Strategy 2025.
She stated, “This milestone brings us closer to eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. We are now eager to continue our efforts in innovation and improvement, fulfilling our vision and advancing the government sector in the UAE to unprecedented heights.” The evaluation encompassed various services, including government-to-government (G2G) services as well as those provided to individuals and the business sector. The primary objective of this assessment is to promote the delivery of integrated digital government services and enhance the customer experience based on reliable insights and data.
EHS distinguished itself by achieving exceptional results in key service categories, such as medical fitness examinations for residency visas and new employees, issuing health cards for individuals with disabilities, and both the issuance and renewal of health cards. It also excelled in processing requests for medical reports and medical complaints.
Furthermore, EHS performed admirably in additional service categories, including medical fitness examinations for university admissions, mobile healthcare, pre-marital counseling, and reference data services, such as inquiries about health card details.
