Private Hospital The process of Transferring Public Hospital W H Y I S I T A N I S S U E ? • Now let’s talk about how is this an issue: The private and public systems are not connected.. Which means that if someone wants to double check his results from the public hospital They will have to do the tests and assessments all over again… N O W I M A G I N E . . If there’s someone you know, who’s very precious to you and you’ve been with them through the long and frustrating process of testing to know if they have cancer or not. The results come back negative; they want to double check in a private hospital; a month later they’re done with the tests and they come back positive for cancer.. The doctors wish the patient came two months earlier because only then it would be easy to treat. But that time was wasted because they had to do the same tests twice.. THE SEHA APPLICATION • There’s already an app called SEHA; which owns and operates all the public hospitals and clinics of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and was set -up to provide UAE residents and citizens with integrated and outstanding healthcare services following the highest international quality and safety standards .
