UAE's diabetes care expands with tech upgrades and global recognition
Emirates Health Services (EHS) has expanded its diabetes care programme with new technologies and international recognition. The organisation recently secured accreditation from the Joint Commission International for its clinical care standards. This comes as the UAE sees a significant number of registered diabetes cases across its emirates. In 2025, EHS recorded a total of 20,713 diabetes patients at its primary healthcare centres. Women made up the majority, with 12,349 cases compared to 8,364 men. UAE nationals accounted for the largest share, totaling 15,407 registered patients.
Sharjah reported the highest number of cases, with 8,153 patients. Ras Al Khaimah followed with 5,283, while Fujairah had 3,779. Other emirates included Ajman (1,264), Umm Al Quwain (1,130), and Dubai (1,104), where 581 women and 523 men were registered.
EHS has strengthened its diabetes services by introducing advanced diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up programmes. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications. New medical technologies have been integrated across facilities to enhance care quality. The accreditation from the Joint Commission International confirms EHS’s commitment to high standards in diabetes management. With expanded services and updated technology, the organisation aims to better support patients across the UAE. The latest figures highlight the ongoing need for specialised care in the region.
