Two health facilities have been temporarily closed in the UAE over several violations committed by the healthcare centre and a health complex. The Abu Dhabi Department of Health (DoH) announced the closures to protect the health and safety of the patients and allow the facilities to take rectification actions.
Violations committed by the facilities include failure to adhere to safety procedures and means of infection prevention, use of expired materials and tools, and non-compliance with the standards and regulations for medical waste disposal and the storage of blood units.
The health facilities also faced other violations including a lack of licensed physicians in the specialities mentioned in the facility’s license.
