from emergencies, crises, and disasters. This is essential to enhance the safety and well-being of
patients, visitors, and healthcare professionals, while strengthening service continuity across the
emirate, right from pre-hospital services to diagnostics and treatment.

Matar Saeed Al Nuaimi, Director General of ADCMC, reaffirmed the centre’s unwavering
commitment to advancing the emergency, crisis, and disaster management system, as well as
elevating the resilience and sustainability of the emirate’s healthcare sector. His Excellency
emphasised the need to establish comprehensive, integrated standards that ensure essential
service continuity and patient safety under all circumstances.

Al Nuaimi stated that the initiative aligns with the centre’s strategic vision to enhance Abu Dhabi’s
preparedness for emergencies and crises, further solidifying its position as a global leader in this
critical domain.

Al Nuaimi said: “The health and wellbeing of the population remain a top priority for Abu Dhabi,
aligning with the government’s aim to provide an exceptional quality of life for all residents and
ensure the continuity of essential healthcare services."

He added, "Achieving this exemplary vision necessitates strict compliance with the regulatory and
legislative frameworks, as well as the effective implementation of key requirements by all
stakeholders within the healthcare sector. In such a scenario, it is also essential to proactively
identify and manage strategic risks at the emirate level, by understanding their potential impact on
healthcare, reinforcing social and economic stability.”

He emphasised the newly introduced standard’s critical role in enhancing the healthcare sector’s
capacity and establishing a flexible business continuity management system to ensure the
sustainability of healthcare services, even during emergencies.

Al Nuaimi remarked that such a system empowers healthcare providers to effectively adapt to
evolving challenges and respond swiftly to a wide range of crises.

sustainability and continuity of its services in times of crisis. Collaboration, joint efforts, and
integration between all stakeholders have played a vital role in achieving the emirate’s milestones
in that regard."

She added, "Today, Abu Dhabi proudly ranks among the world’s most innovative and resilient
