The Disaster and Crisis Management Office has been included into the Dubai Health Authority’s organizational structure, marking a substantial change in the emirate’s health security system.
The main goals of the new office are to improve the health sector’s capacity, preparation, and ability to handle any disaster. Together with other responsibilities and tasks meant to enhance community health security, it will create and oversee the emergency, crisis, and disaster management system.
The authority announced this drastic alteration as part of its participation in the International Conference and Exhibition for Relief and Development (Dihad), which opened at the Dubai World Trade Center on April 23 and runs for three days. Several medical institution officials, as well as scientists, physicians, experts, and specialists from the UAE and elsewhere, were in attendance.
According to Dr. Khalid Abdullah Lootah, head of the Disaster Management Office and public health expert, the office will be better equipped to handle any health emergency or disaster with the backing of an advanced center and an internationally recognized program.
The Operations and Control Center has the newest technological and intelligent crisis and catastrophe management technologies among these.
The Dubai Disaster and Crisis Medicine Programme will provide additional assistance. The European Centre for Disaster Medicine and the American College of Surgeons have now internationally approved this program, which started two months ago with the goal of strengthening the emirate’s preventative and health security system for any prospective emergency instances.
