What is a DHA primary care audit?

What is DoH JAWDA compliance for primary care in Abu Dhabi?

JAWDA is the Department of Health Abu Dhabi performance and quality framework. BHC scores Abu Dhabi polyclinics and family medicine practices against the 8 DoH Core Pillars including JAWDA KPIs, public health and the 2026 Patient Experience Standard (PXS).

Does BHC support both Dubai and Abu Dhabi clinics?

What clinics use BHC?

BHC is built for primary care providers including polyclinics, family medicine centres and outpatient clinics across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What is DHA compliance in simple terms?

It is the ongoing state of meeting Dubai Health Authority licensing, facility, clinical governance, records and NABIDH requirements — and being able to evidence that state on any day an inspector arrives.

Is a valid DHA licence the same as being compliant?

No. The licence reflects the position at approval or renewal. Compliance is the state maintained in between, and DHA inspections in Dubai are unannounced.

Who is responsible for DHA compliance in a clinic?

The medical director carries the clinical regulatory accountability and represents the facility at inspection. The owner carries the commercial and licensing consequence of any enforcement action.

How do I check where my clinic currently stands?

Run a structured audit against each DHA domain with evidence attached. BHC delivers that as a scored report, referenced to the exact DHA document, within 24 hours of submission as standard.

What Is DHA Compliance?

DHA compliance is the set of licensing, facility, clinical and record-keeping standards a Dubai clinic must meet — and be able to evidence on demand — to hold a Dubai Health Authority facility licence. It spans facility and physical safety, professional licensing through Sheryan, clinical governance and policy control, medical records and NABIDH health information exchange, infection control, medication management, and the medical director's personal accountability at inspection. Compliance is judged on evidence, not intent: an inspector reviews what the clinic can produce on the day.
