UAE to abolish health card: Emirates ID to replace it at hospitals

Published

Spread the love

In a major digital shift, Emirates Health Services (EHS) has begun implementing a plan to abolish the health card, replacing it with the Emirates ID as the primary identifier for patients across its hospitals and healthcare centres.

The move is aimed at simplifying access to treatment and cutting administrative red tape.

What’s changing?

For years, patients needed a valid health card to register and receive treatment at EHS facilities, including renewals when expired.

Under the new system:

  • The Emirates ID will serve as the unified patient identifier
  • No separate health card will be required
  • Registration procedures will be streamlined
  • Administrative steps will be reduced

The aim? Faster access, shorter waiting times and smoother admissions.

Who will benefit first?

According to EHS, the rollout will happen in phases.

Phase One:

  • Emirati citizens
  • UAE residents
  • Nationals of GCCcountries

Later phases will include:

  • Children of Emirati women
  • Spouses of Emirati citizens
  • People of determination
  • Additional categories requiring coordination with other entities

Saif Abdullah Al Hassani, Head of Service Development and User Experience at EHS, said the move aligns with the UAE’s digital transformation agenda and national database integration.

In simple terms: one ID, one system, less paperwork.

EHS confirmed it is technically ready to cancel the health card for all groups immediately. However, a phased rollout is being adopted to monitor system performance and address any operational challenges before full implementation.

When will it be fully implemented?

The first group of beneficiaries has already completed technical and regulatory preparations, with a formal announcement expected soon.

Further categories will be added gradually as coordination with external entities is completed.

What this means for patients

Once fully implemented:

  • No more renewing health cards
  • Faster registration at hospitals
  • Reduced paperwork
  • Improved patient experience
