DU and Dubai Health Authority join hands

Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), operating as DU, has unveiled a strategic partnership with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) to revolutionize the cloud infrastructure supporting critical digital applications. The primary objective of this collaboration is to optimize operational efficiency, streamline processes, and fortify the DHA's ongoing digital transformation initiatives. The agreement lays the foundation for an advanced cloud infrastructure for the DHA, aimed at facilitating the seamless migration of existing digital applications and workloads from their current infrastructure. Given the multitude of vital applications in active use by various government entities and customers, this initiative represents a momentous step in the DHA's digital transformation journey.

Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Executive Officer at DU said, “Our partnership with the Dubai Health Authority is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative digital solutions. We will leverage our expertise in cloud services to seamlessly migrate and optimise ICT infrastructure. This move will not only boost productivity and bring substantial cost savings but also offer increased flexibility and reduced operational complexities in managing critical applications to accelerate DHA’s digital transformation journey.”

DU's cloud expertise and its smooth migration solutions are anticipated to play a pivotal role in the success of this project. Their integrated approach and managed hybrid cloud offerings will merge conventional and agile IT, creating a centralized system capable of scaling and adapting to evolving business requirements while safeguarding legacy IT operations.

Ahmed Al Nuaimi, CEO of Joint Corporate Support Services at the DHA, affirmed that the partnership with DU will empower the DHA to advance its digital capabilities further. The DHA has already made significant strides in its digital transformation journey, achieving noteworthy breakthroughs in delivering smart services. Mr. Al Nuaimi underscored the authority's unwavering commitment to being at the forefront of the most cutting-edge institutions and expressed gratitude for strategic partners, particularly those with specialization in the field, such as DU. The collaboration between the DHA and DU aspires to set new standards in digital innovation and elevate service delivery. As the project progresses, the cloud infrastructure will be established, applications will be migrated, and a centralized system will take shape, ready to expand and adapt to ongoing business demands and future needs.
