The Department of Health (DoH) in Abu Dhabi has taken swift action to temporarily close two healthcare facilities in the city due to serious violations. The first facility, a one-day surgery center, has been ordered to shut down immediately because its violations were deemed to “pose a significant threat to the health and safety of our community members.” Additionally, the DoH has launched an investigation into another medical center suspected of financial irregularities.
The one-day surgery center was closed following a comprehensive assessment conducted by health authorities. The violations discovered during this evaluation were so severe that they were considered a major risk to public health. The DoH did not provide specific details about the nature of these violations but emphasized the importance of ensuring the highest standards of patient safety and care in healthcare facilities.
