The UAE's Ministry of Health (MoH) has announced that it has launched a new electronic project to facilitate easy access to patients' records at all healthcare centres nationwide.

Under the slogan "One folder for every patient", the 200 million dirham Al-Wareed project aims to transform the country's health delivery sector and ensure rapid healthcare delivery.

Health chief Humaid Al-Qattami said the initiative was one of the most significant projects on his ministry's list of strategic plans.
