Strategic Partnerships

Institutional integration and strategic partnerships have facilitated progress. The organizations involve MoHAP, the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre, local statistical centres, and other relevant health authorities. These partnerships utilize cutting-edge technologies and international methodologies for data collection and analysis.

Data Collection and Analysis

Health and Nutrition Indicators

The surveys track a broad spectrum of health and nutrition indicators. These include socio-economic factors, household health expenditures, prevalence of non-communicable diseases, biophysical measurements, access to healthcare, micronutrient deficiencies, dietary intake, child growth metrics, and maternal health.

Future Health Policies and Programs

The surveys are crucial for shaping the future of the UAE’s health sector by providing key insights that guide decision-making and the development of innovative health policies. These policies will focus on prevention and treatment, aiming to improve the quality of life for all UAE residents.

Digital Transformation and Sustainable Development

The surveys support the digital transformation of the health sector by analyzing key indicators that promote sustainable development. The Ministry invests resources where they are needed most, demonstrating its commitment to building a world-class healthcare system.

Community Participation and Cooperation

The collective effort of all involved partners and the cooperation of families and the community contribute to the success of the surveys. Their participation is essential for building a healthier, more sustainable society.

In summary, the National Health Survey 2024 is a comprehensive initiative. The initiative collects accurate and reliable data to develop effective health policies, enhance the healthcare sector, and improve the overall well-being of the UAE’s population. The high completion rates and collaborative efforts underscore the commitment to achieving these goals.
