UAE Ministry of Health Launches 2025 Bureaucracy Elimination Plan
This ambitious overhaul of the health sector has already reduced the health service processing time by 90%.
Apr 04, 2025
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) has announced the launch of its Bureaucracy Elimination Plan for 2025 aimed at enhancing healthcare service delivery across the UAE. This initiative promises to improve user experiences and streamline processes to create a more efficient and flexible healthcare system.
Abdullah Ahmad Ahli, Acting Assistance Undersecretary at MOHAP, highlighted in a press briefing the ministry's focus on innovative, user-centric solutions to meet future healthcare needs. The centerpiece of this overhaul is a large-scale Service Re-engineering Project that seeks to optimise and redesign all services in collaboration with stakeholders and strategic partners, ensuring they align with user needs and preferences.
The project's key initiatives include a transformation of digital channels guided by customer councils, focus groups, and user interviews, the launch of the National Unified Licensing Platform to facilitate the integration of skilled medical professionals into the UAE's healthcare system, and the National Digital Experience Centre. This centre will optimise MOHAP's existing digital laboratory, and develop a collaboration between public and private sectors to drive digital healthcare advancements.
Dedicated to public involvement in its service design, MOHAP's Customer Experience Lab recently received the 'People Engagement' award at the World Government Summit 2025.
The Bureaucracy Elimination Programme is already seeing remarkable results, such as a 90% reduction in service processing time, a 70% decrease in procedural steps, required documents, and regulatory conditions, and a 75% fall in in-person visits to service centres. These outcomes demonstrate a healthcare system that is more accessible and user-friendly, setting new standards for smart, efficient, customer-centred healthcare in the UAE.

New Digital Platform to Aid Smokers in Early Lung Cancer Detection
The platform will focus on individuals aged 50 and older who are current or former smokers, as they represent the highest-risk group for developing lung cancer. Nov 08, 2024 The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) is set to launch a digital health assessment platform aimed at improving the early detection of lung cancer. The platform will focus on individuals aged 50 and older who are current or former smokers, as they represent the highest-risk group for developing lung cancer. The new initiative is aligned with the development of a national guide for early lung cancer detection, which MoHAP is creating in collaboration with the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Cancer. The guide aims to support the national prevention of non-communicable diseases and ensure a sustainable, health-conscious population. In addition, MoHAP is working on implementing an AI-based detection system for lung cancer, which will integrate advanced algorithms to help identify early signs of the disease with greater accuracy. Medical staff will also be trained in international best practices, and innovative awareness programs will be introduced to educate high-risk groups. These efforts are supported by a strategic agreement between MoHAP and AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company, coinciding with the global observance of Lung Cancer Awareness Month this November. As part of the campaign, a series of specialized workshops and community awareness events will be held in Dubai to educate the public on the importance of early detection and regular screenings. The events will feature expert talks and presentations focused on the latest detection methods and the benefits of timely intervention.

90% of Girls in UAE to Be Vaccinated Against HPV by 2030
The strategy also includes implementing routine cervical cancer screenings for women starting at age 25. Apr 06, 2025 The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has launched a national strategy aimed at eliminating cervical cancer and reducing diseases linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV). A central objective of the initiative is to vaccinate 90% of girls against HPV before the age of 15 by the year 2030. The plan also calls for routine cervical cancer screenings for women beginning at age 25. Cervical cancer remains the fifth most common cancer among women in the UAE. While national incidence rates are lower than the global average, MoHAP underscored the importance of early detection and prevention through a combined approach of vaccination and regular screening. The strategy aligns with broader national goals to enhance healthcare quality and raise overall life expectancy. The UAE was the first country in the Eastern Mediterranean region to introduce the HPV vaccine into its national immunisation programme, beginning with girls aged 13 to 14 in 2018. In 2023, the programme was extended to include boys in the same age group, broadening community-level protection against the virus and its associated health risks. The ministry's updated plan is part of a long-term public health framework aimed at reducing the burden of preventable cancers and strengthening immunisation coverage nationwide.
