4/30/25, 12:48 PM ADCMC kicks off Annual ‘Business Continuity and Alternative National Service - Murona’ Forum
strategies to sustain operations during emergencies. It also serves as a valuable platform for networking
and knowledge exchange among leaders from various sectors and government entities.

On the opening day, the ‘Abu Dhabi Healthcare Business Continuity Standard’ was launched in
partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi. This groundbreaking healthcare-focused

standard, a global first, is part of a series of continuity management standards set to be introduced for all
critical activities in Abu Dhabi to enhance resilience. The standard aims to strengthen the healthcare
sector’s preparedness and continuity management in healthcare services across the Emirate.

The first day also marked the graduation of 129 recruits from three cohorts of the Alternative National

Service Program.

The Forum further featured discussions on best practices and strategies for ensuring business
continuity. Experts and professionals shared their insights and experiences, contributing to a rich
exchange of knowledge. Additionally, 21 local organisations that effectively activated the Alternative
National Service Program were honoured. In addition to honoring 10 local entities that completed the

requirements for compliance with the National Business Continuity Standard in Abu Dhabi.

H.E. Matar Al Nuaimi, Director-General of Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Centre Abu
Dhabi (ADCMC) said: “The Forum is a testament to the Centre’s commitment to enhancing Abu Dhabi’s
readiness and resilience. It aligns with our leadership’s vision and provides a platform for collaboration

and knowledge sharing.

The introduction of the ‘Abu Dhabi Healthcare Business Continuity Standard’ is a significant milestone in
strengthening the resilience of our healthcare sector. By continuously advancing our emergency, crisis,
and disaster management system, we aim to contribute to a secure and sustainable healthcare
landscape, ready to tackle future challenges efficiently.” H.E added.

H.E Al Nuaimi also underscored the Centre’s unwavering commitment to promoting collaboration with

involved parties to unify efforts and ensure a comprehensive approach to emergency, crisis, and
disaster management. He emphasised that cultivating strategic partnerships and exchanging
knowledge is crucial to building resilience across sectors, empowering industries to confront challenges,

and preparing them for the future.

The ADCMC plays an instrumental role in supporting local organisations in Abu Dhabi to adopt the
National Business Continuity Management Standard (NCEMA7000:2021). This involves the audit
process to ensure compliance with the National Standard and offer actionable solutions. Furthermore, it
is the primary accreditation body in Abu Dhabi overseeing the allocation of recruits to relevant entities,

while ensuring their active engagement in annual training and exercise programs.
