Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 9, 2023: The Dubai Health Authority(DHA) announced that it has issued the standards for physiotherapy services in the Emirate.
The announcement took place during the World Physiotherapy Conference, which recently took place in Dubai.
Dr. Marwan Al Mulla, CEO of the Health Regulation Sector at the DHA said that the issuance of standards for physiotherapy services is in line with DHA’s strategic vision of ensuring continuous improvement in the delivery of health services provided by the sector.
He thanked Emirates Medical Association’s Emirates Physiotherapy Society for their cooperation to help develop comprehensive standards for physiotherapy services in the Emirate.
Dr. Hanan Obaid, Director of the Health Policies and Standards Department at the DHA highlighted that the main objective of issuing these standards is to unify physiotherapy services provided across all health facilities in the Emirate, in line with the latest advances in the field and international best practices.
The standards specify provisions for both health facilities and health professionals and provide details of performance indicators to ensure the provision of patient-centered care.
Dr. Obaid stated that the standards also provide detailed provisions for referring and educating patients, keeping in mind the highest criteria of health and safety in the field.
