The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) announced the temporary closure of two healthcare centres in the capital. Moreover, the closing of these centres occurred due to the centres’ violations of the DoH standards and rules.

These healthcare centres violated 6 of the DoH’s standards

These violations consist of:

• Failure to adhere to safety procedures and means of infection prevention
• Use of expired materials and tools
• Non-compliance with the standards and regulations for medical waste disposal and the storage of blood units
• Lack of licenced physicians in the specialities mentioned in the facility’s licence
• Non-compliance with the engineering and technical layout of the facility’s plan
