His Excellency Qadhi Saeed Al Murooshid, the Director General of the Dubai Health Authority, said:
"Separation will give Government owned hospitals and clinics the autonomy, authority, accountability and flexibility required to increase capacity and service quality so they can either compete, or work in partnership with the private sector, helping to improve the availability of good healthcare within Dubai.
This creates a number of very exciting opportunities for everyone working within a growing and expanding healthcare sector. However I appreciate that change can also be unsettling for many healthcare workers, who continue to be our most important asset."
He added: "Given that they work hard to ensure we get the best healthcare treatment when we need it, we must also help them to understand the many advantages that the new system will bring. On this basis I am committed to an ongoing engagement programme, to ensure that all healthcare workers across the whole health sector are fully involved in every stage of the DHA transition programme."
The Director General will continue to conduct regular briefing sessions, providing updates on the DHA transition programme. Details are still being confirmed but it is the Director General's intention that he will also address staff working in private healthcare facilities in the near future.
