UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 on the use of information and communications technology in health fields governs how health data is collected, stored, shared and protected across the UAE. It sets confidentiality duties, data location requirements, minimum retention periods and responsibilities for anyone handling health information.
We map your health data and systems, check localisation and retention, put the security and governance controls in place and connect the work with ADHICS in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Health Authority requirements and ISO 27001.
Who it is for
- Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and labs in the UAE
- Health insurers and third-party administrators
- Health tech, telemedicine and software providers serving UAE healthcare
What you gain
- Clarity on where health data can be stored and processed
- Retention and confidentiality rules built into systems
- One programme with ADHICS, ISO 27001 and ISO 27799
How we get you compliant
Applicability and scoping
Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.
Data and process mapping
Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.
Gap assessment
Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.
Remediation roadmap
Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.
Evidence and ongoing monitoring
A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.
