The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has introduced the Unified Medical Report for People of Determination, a standardised digital framework designed to streamline medical assessments and improve access to services for individuals with disabilities across the emirate.
Announced during a virtual forum jointly organised by the DHA and the Community Development Authority (CDA), the project establishes a unified diagnostic and classification system that links multiple government entities under a single, integrated digital platform.
The initiative is part of the People of Determination Services Team under the City Makers programme, led by the General Secretariat of The Executive Council of Dubai. It brings together nine government bodies, including Dubai Health, Dubai Police, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, the Dubai Autism Centre and the Dubai Club for People of Determination.
At its core, the system connects the NABIDH medical record exchange platform with relevant government databases, enabling the issuance of unified medical reports aligned with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The digital journey begins with case assessment at an accredited facility and culminates in the issuance of the SANAD card, giving individuals streamlined access to services through digital channels.
Dr. Atef Abdullateef Saleh, Head of the General Medical Committee Office at the DHA, said the project advances the medical assessment system by standardising criteria, strengthening report reliability and reducing variation in case evaluations.
Maitha Al Shamsi, Executive Director of the Community Empowerment Sector at the CDA, described the initiative as an advanced model of government integration that simplifies the customer journey and supports greater social inclusion, in line with the Dubai Social Agenda 33.
The project supports Dubai's broader digital transformation agenda and reinforces the One Government approach through unified systems and standardised procedures.
