Unlocking Compliance: ADHICS DoH Audit Program for Healthcare

Introduction: As the healthcare industry in Abu Dhabi continues to evolve, ensuring the security and integrity of patient information is paramount. In line with this, the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security (ADHICS) standards have been established to safeguard sensitive data. For healthcare organizations, compliance with these standards is not just a legal requirement but also a crucial step in maintaining trust with patients and stakeholders. One of the key initiatives under ADHICS is the DoH Audit Program, designed to assess and enhance adherence to these standards.
