DUBAI - The Ministry of Health and Prevention, MoHAP, has announced the launching of a new e-service to submit complaints or observations against private medical facilities, its medical and technical staff, who are dealing with members of the society.

The service aims to ensure that healthcare service providers fulfil their role in accordance with global standards and within the context of MoHAP’s policy in upgrading E-services, with a view to promoting health system quality and innovating smart solutions, besides the commitment to carry out quality systems.

Dr. Hessa Mubarak, Director of the Department of Health Empowerment and Compliance said that MoHAP does not accept any shortcomings in terms of providing healthcare services.
