DUBAI // Patients in Dubai will soon have access to their medical records through a secure online portal once training for 11,000 Dubai Health Authority staff is completed.
So far 1.4 million DHA patient medical records and 112 million transactions have been transferred to the Salama system, with staff training on how to use the system already begun.
“The project will help improve patient care and patient safety and improve risk management and organisational quality,” said Amani Al Jassmi, director of information technology at the DHA.
“Furthermore, it will provide healthcare providers across the DHA network with quick access to patient records.”
The first stage of the three-phase programme will be launch in April at Rashid Hospital, Dermatology Centre, Airport Medical Centres, Dubai Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre and Al Barsha Health Centre.
Salama will then be introduced at Dubai Hospital, Dubai Diabetes Centre and all primary healthcare centres in August, and at Latifa Hospital, Hatta Hospital, Thalassaemia Centre, Dubai Gynaecology and Fertility Centre and all DHA medical fitness centres by November.
Doctors will receive integrated patient information, with an overview of their condition delivered at the stroke of a key.
The system will also make possible automatic cross-referencing of medication and allergy interactions, to avoid medication errors that could result in an allergic reaction.

Iraq negotiating over Iran sanctions impact
- US sanctions on Iran’s energy industry and exports took effect on Monday, November 5.
- Washington issued formal waivers to eight buyers of Iranian oil, allowing them to continue limited imports. Iraq did not receive a waiver.
- Iraq’s government is cooperating with the US to contain Iranian influence in the country, and increased Iraqi oil production is helping to make up for Iranian crude that sanctions are blocking from markets, US officials say.
- Iraq, the second-biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, pumped last month at a record 4.78 million barrels a day, former Oil Minister Jabbar Al-Luaibi said on Oct. 20. Iraq exported 3.83 million barrels a day last month, according to tanker tracking and data from port agents.
- Iraq has been working to restore production at its northern Kirkuk oil field. Kirkuk could add 200,000 barrels a day of oil to Iraq’s total output, Hook said.
- The country stopped trucking Kirkuk oil to Iran about three weeks ago, in line with U.S. sanctions, according to four people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified because they aren’t allowed to speak to media.
- Oil exports from Iran, OPEC’s third-largest supplier, have slumped since President Donald Trump announced in May that he’d reimpose sanctions. Iran shipped about 1.76 million barrels a day in October out of 3.42 million in total production, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
- Benchmark Brent crude fell 47 cents to $72.70 a barrel in London trading at 7:26 a.m. local time. U.S. West Texas Intermediate was 25 cents lower at $62.85 a barrel in New York. WTI held near the lowest level in seven months as concerns of a tightening market eased after the U.S. granted its waivers to buyers of Iranian crude.
