Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has approved a decree reconstituting the board of directors of Emirates Health Services, with Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh named as chairman.
Emirates Health Services is the federal authority responsible for delivering curative, preventive and public health services across the UAE. Its remit covers the establishment and management of federal hospitals, health centres and medical facilities, as well as setting the policies and standards that govern the country’s public healthcare sector.
The authority is also mandated to develop national healthcare talent, attract specialist professionals, and advance the adoption of digital health tools and artificial intelligence in line with international best practice. Qualifying federal hospitals and health centres as accredited teaching institutions, and supporting medical research aimed at improving the sector, fall within its scope as well.
No further details about the full composition of the reconstituted board were published alongside the decree.
