DHA launches advanced “Hasana” system for infectious disease monitoring and management

At the recent Healthcare Future Summit 2024, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) unveiled "Hasana," an advanced system designed to enhance infectious disease monitoring and management across Dubai. This state-of-the-art platform employs cutting-edge technologies to oversee vaccine distribution, uphold public health standards, and control the spread of infectious diseases.

Dr. Ramadan Ibrahim Al Blooshi, Advisor to the Director General and Director of the Public Health Protection Department at DHA, emphasized that the introduction of Hasana reflects the Authority's commitment to remaining at the forefront of global health initiatives.

How does it work?

Hasana is a unified digital platform that integrates with both public and private healthcare facilities in Dubai, streamlining the immunization process and maintaining up-to-date health records for each patient. This system enables real-time updates across the healthcare network, ensuring that vaccines are administered promptly and accurately.

It offers advanced features such as automated tracking of vaccine stocks and doses, which minimizes human error and enhances the precision of vaccine delivery. In addition, Hasana provides oversight for essential vaccinations, supports immunization campaigns, and tracks immunization records and potential side effects, all while adhering to the highest international standards.

Why does it matter?

The implementation of the Hasana system is a significant step forward in Dubai's public health strategy. Dr. Al Blooshi highlighted that by leveraging smart technologies, Hasana enables the monitoring, analysis, and assessment of infectious disease spread, allowing for swift and effective responses. This proactive approach is crucial for managing and containing health threats, thereby safeguarding the community.

"Hasana serves as a robust tool for strengthening health security and tackling public health challenges," Dr. Al Blooshi noted, underscoring the importance of electronic connectivity between healthcare facilities to ensure the accurate flow of information during critical times.

The context

Dubai's investment in the Hasana system is part of a broader commitment by the DHA to enhance public health infrastructure with adaptable and secure technologies. Dr. Al Blooshi pointed out that the system's user-friendly interface and integration with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, coupled with its cloud-based scalability, make it a flexible solution capable of evolving with future needs.

The rigorous security protocols embedded within Hasana ensure that health data is protected, aligning with DHA's dedication to maintaining high standards in public health and disease management. This initiative bolsters Dubai's health security and sets a benchmark for integrating technology into public health strategies worldwide.
