The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has showcased key achievements made over the past year by Tatmeen initiative, the highly advanced track and trace platform for pharmaceuticals and medical products, during the Ministry’s participation in Arab Health 2024, taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Dr. Amin Hussein Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for the Health Regulation Sector, stressed that Tatmeen platform plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of both domestically manufactured and imported medicines. It bolsters confidence in pharmaceutical products by serving as an effective tool for verifying product authenticity and preventing the circulation of counterfeit items. Moreover, it empowers consumers by enabling them to personally verify products,” Al Amiri said.

Al Amiri added that the platform significantly enhances MoHAP’s capability to oversee the quality of medicines, thereby promoting patient and community health and safety. Additionally, the platform contributes to the development of health and smart service efficiency within the country.”

For his part, Abdullah Ahmed Ahli, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for the Support Services Sector, said: “Tatmeen platform is one of the key national health projects, symbolizing the Ministry’s digital transformation in health and pharmaceutical services.

This comes in line with the government’s keenness to make the most of digital technologies to enhance and expedite service quality. Moreover, it reflects the Ministry’s commitment to offering efficient, effective institutional services and digital infrastructure while promoting innovative practices characterized by flexibility, proactivity, and readiness.”
