Conversation with Health Dept Chairman HE Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori | Middle East & Africa Summit

  • Abu Dhabi aims to construct a system capable of predicting, preventing, and personalizing care to extend the healthy lifespan of society while prioritizing "optimum" engagement over sickness.
  • Policies will address the 80 percent of health determinants located outside the healthcare sector to mitigate systemic failure.
  • The Malafi population health intelligence system is projected to identify populations at risk for obesity, cardiovascular disease, and genetic disorders to facilitate targeted interventions.
  • The Emirati genome program, launched in 2019 with a goal to sequence one million individuals, is expected to predict conditions such as breast cancer via BRCA genes to enable early lifestyle interventions.
  • The strategy includes monitoring 1,500 cardiovascular genes to prevent cardiovascular issues.
  • The framework envisions managing individual health from birth to death, which is anticipated to reduce interaction with the 20 percent sick care sector and increase long-term productivity.
  • The system is designed to yield a return from extending the healthy lifespan that is expected to outperform associated budget expenditures.
  • Abu Dhabi plans to continuously adjust policies based on real-world evidence regarding medicine, treatment, and lifestyle interventions.
