In a major milestone for Dubai’s healthcare sector, the number of medical records stored on the NABIDH platform has surpassed 10.41 million as of the end of June 2025.
The unified digital medical records system, which is managed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), is rapidly transforming how healthcare is delivered across the emirate.
A total of 53,659 healthcare professionals, nearly 1,888 licensed facilities, and 91 electronic medical record systems are now connected to the platform.
This integration allows doctors and providers to securely access patient records instantly—boosting efficiency, reducing errors and improving patient care.
Dr. Mohammed Al Redha, Director of Health Informatics and Smart Health at the DHA, says the system is helping to cut down on repeated procedures and streamline transitions between healthcare providers.
NABIDH is seen as a key pillar in Dubai’s digital health strategy, supporting decision-making, emergency response and long-term research, while strengthening public-private partnerships in the health sector.
