OVERVIEW

Abu Dhabi Health Workforce Plan

The Department of Health Abu Dhabi places health workforce sustainability, Emiratisation, human empowerment, investment in medical cadres, and upgrading their competencies among its top priorities.

Therefore, it was keen to launch the health workforce plan with its studied methodology, innovative tools and initiatives that will contribute to giving a clear picture of the priority health areas for workforce investment, the current Emiratisation gaps, and future investment opportunities in the health sector in the Emirate.

Programs and Initiatives


At the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, we believe that investing in and upgrading medical cadres begins with medical education, so we have made sure to place it among our top priorities.

Health Workforce Management System platform

A digital platform that facilitates the process of attracting and employing medical competencies in health facilities in the emirate with the possibility of temporary secondment between them. The platform enables health care professionals to register in it, add all their data and provide it to health facilities in the emirate to use them according to the required skills.

Health Workforce Training Platform

The platform is concerned with training doctors, nurses and health professionals not working in the field of critical and intensive care in order to empower and prepare them with the necessary skills to respond to emergencies by subjecting them to accredited medical training for continuous development according to the needs of the sector and international best practices
