Nearly all public and private healthcare providers in Abu Dhabi now share patient records in real time thanks to Malaffi, one of the fastest-implemented health information exchanges globally (Malaffi). With malaffi support services at your clinic, you ensure seamless data exchange and meet regulatory mandates under Riayati and NABIDH.

Key idea: Having integrated health data at your fingertips reduces duplicated tests, cuts errors, and frees you to focus on patient care.

Explore compliance frameworks

Abu Dhabi and Dubai have rolled out several data standards to unify medical records. Riayati (the National Unified Medical Record) covers the entire UAE under the National Unified Medical Record program. NABIDH (National Unified Medical Records) applies specifically in Dubai and sets additional fields for clinic workflows. Meanwhile, Malaffi support services tie both programs together in Abu Dhabi, connecting public and private facilities in real time.

Riayati overview

Riayati is the UAE’s federal exchange under the National Unified Medical Record program. It ensures authorized providers access unified patient summaries. By law, all Abu Dhabi facilities share core demographics, diagnoses, immunizations, and laboratory results.

NABIDH overview

Dubai’s NABIDH framework mandates extra data points such as detailed cancer staging and dental procedures. You must adjust front-desk forms and electronic health record templates. Clinics often use nabidh training programs to meet these requirements.

Malaffi support services

Malaffi support services enable real-time sharing of radiology images, genomics data, clinical documents, and more. AI tools predict patient risks of chronic conditions based on your patients’ history (Malaffi FAQs). You get a consolidated encounter-centric view (ECV) and seamless integration with Sahatna, your patient portal.
