The Department of Health in Abu Dhabi (DoH) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) have unveiled a strengthened partnership aimed at promoting intelligent health systems and fostering healthy longevity. This announcement took place during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting at the UAE Pavilion in Davos.
The enhanced collaboration seeks to reinforce Abu Dhabi's standing as a worldwide leader in preventive, personalized, and data-driven healthcare.
His Excellency Mansoor Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, emphasized that conventional healthcare approaches are often fragmented and reactionary. He pointed out that this partnership will propel a global transition towards intelligent health infrastructures that prioritize early intervention, disease prevention, and longevity.
This announcement builds on the success of the previous phase of collaboration, which culminated in a joint white paper titled “A New Era for Digital Health: Abu Dhabi’s Leap to Health Intelligence.” The document outlines how Abu Dhabi has developed an advanced health framework that integrates clinical, genomic, lifestyle, and environmental data to forecast health risks, prevent illnesses, and inform expansive public health strategies.
Dr. Shyam Bishen, Head of the Centre for Health and Healthcare at WEF, commended Abu Dhabi’s leadership, remarking that the emirate demonstrates the real-world impact of digital health, artificial intelligence, and data at a systemic level. He noted that the insights gained could aid other nations in establishing more connected and resilient health systems globally.
In this new phase, Abu Dhabi will maintain its status as a Global Pathfinder within the WEF’s Digital Healthcare Transformation (DHT) Initiative, which unites over 200 global entities, including healthcare leaders, tech companies, policymakers, and investors, to expedite healthcare transformation worldwide.
Abu Dhabi’s expertise will enhance conversations on healthy living, longevity, health intelligence, and the role of digital technologies and AI in public health policy-making. Furthermore, the partnership will dovetail with other WEF health initiatives, such as the Healthy Longevity Initiative and the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience.
