Stringent new compliance obligations for handlers of health data in Abu Dhabi

Businesses in Abu Dhabi which handle patient health data need to comply with a comprehensive set of privacy, security and operational compliance obligations under new regulations issued by the Department of Health.

The Standard on Patient Healthcare Data Privacy represents the latest legislation in the UAE to recognise the importance of data protection principles and good practice, notwithstanding the current absence of a national data protection law.
