Dubai, UAE – The Ministry of Health and Prevention has selected Boom Health and Sanimed International Laboratory to conduct the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2024 in collaboration with the World Health Organization. This comprehensive national study will form the cornerstone for developing evidence-based healthcare policies and enhancing public health initiatives across the country.

This partnership combines Boom Health’s innovative healthcare technology capabilities with Sanimed International Laboratory’s advanced diagnostic expertise to provide new insights into the health and nutrition status of the UAE population. This data-driven initiative enables the Ministry of Health and Prevention to develop tailored measures to address the unique health challenges facing the UAE population.

“Our partnership with Sanimed International Laboratory in the Ministry of Health and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Survey 2024 initiative represents an important step in our ongoing efforts to improve healthcare outcomes across the UAE,” said Mohamed Salem Al Mazrouei, CEO of Boom Health. “We are confident that our commitment to operational excellence and the provision of personalized care solutions will ensure the success of the survey, providing the necessary data to develop more effective and patient-focused health policies.”

Speaking about the importance of this initiative, Dr. Meera Jayakumar, Chief Medical Officer, Sanimed International Laboratory, said: “This partnership represents a unique opportunity for Sanimed International Laboratory and Boom Health to play an active role in improving public health levels across the UAE. The data we collect from this national survey will help improve the quality of healthcare services and enhance community health in the country.”

The National Health and Nutrition Survey 2024 initiative aims to establish comprehensive standards for health and nutrition in the UAE, and explore new challenges and opportunities in the field of public health. This vital data contributes to directing resources more effectively to support healthcare programs, and provides decision-makers with the information needed to promote evidence-based policies, which in turn leads to the development of preventive healthcare strategies across the country.

The survey results will play a pivotal role in improving the healthcare system as a whole; healthcare providers can use this data to develop better patient care protocols, while policymakers can leverage these insights to develop public health programs. Furthermore, this important data helps research institutions develop medical studies, which in turn enables government agencies to allocate healthcare resources more effectively according to identified needs.

Public Participation: A Call to Action

The success of this initiative depends on the community’s interaction and active participation. Therefore, all residents of the UAE are invited to participate in this national initiative that contributes to shaping the future of healthcare in the country.

Al Mazrouei concluded: “Every voice counts in improving the state of healthcare in the UAE. By participating in this survey, the country’s residents will have the opportunity to directly influence the future of healthcare in the UAE.”
