The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has signed an agreement with global healthcare technology leader Siemens Healthineers during its participation in the Arab Health Exhibition and Congress recently.
The partnership aims to facilitate the exchange of radiology images between healthcare facilities connected to the Network & Analysis Backbone for Integrated Dubai Healthcare (NABIDH) system, which links over 1,500 healthcare providers and securely stores more than 9.5 million medical records.
The agreement was signed by Mona Bajman, CEO of Corporate Shared Support Services Sector at the DHA, and Vivek Kanade, Managing Director of Siemens Healthineers for the Middle East and Africa.
This collaboration underscores DHA’s commitment to strengthening the digital infrastructure of Dubai’s healthcare sector. By delivering high-quality medical services that align with the aspirations of patients and the wider community, the Authority is advancing its vision of positioning Dubai as a global hub for innovation and excellence in healthcare.
Mona Bajman highlighted the significance of this agreement, which will contribute to supporting the smart transformation of the healthcare sector in Dubai. She highlighted that the integration of Siemens' advanced technologies with the NABIDH system will enable doctors to access medical information seamlessly, reducing errors and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare services. This will expedite the exchange of medical data and radiological images between healthcare institutions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient experience.
The agreement ensures that the NABIDH portal now incorporates diagnostic imaging alongside access to comprehensive medical histories. This facilitates improved diagnoses, enhances treatment quality, supports timely medical decision-making, and ultimately elevates patient care across Dubai.
