As an innovative extension of the region’s first Health Information Exchange platform, Malaffi, the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) launches the Malaffi Health Portal at Gitex Global 2022. The portal seeks to provide the emirate’s community members with a convenient and secure access to their centralised medical records via a website and application.

Studies show that most patients forget up to 80 per cent of the instructions when they leave a clinical setting, meaning secure access to this information online will empower people to be active participants in their own healthcare.

The portal will encourage patients to be more engaged in managing their health and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship by enabling more meaningful conversations to achieve better health outcomes. This is particularly important for those that suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart diseases and pay frequent visits to different doctors.

Through the health portal, patients will be able to access the latest information related to their doctors’ visits, laboratory results and radiology reports, medications, allergies, conditions, immunisations, discharge summaries and more.
