The United Arab Emirates reported 85 TB cases in 2023, reflecting a slight increase from the previous year. While absolute numbers remain low, the country’s status as the world’s leading host of migrants—relative to population—places added emphasis on TB screening during health checks, especially in Dubai’s visa procedures.
In 2016, we supported the delivery of multi-functional EasyDR digital X-ray systems with CAD4TB to Mubadala Hospital’s mobile clinics in Abu Dhabi, with backing from SEHA (Abu Dhabi Health Services Company). In 2021, CAD4TB was also installed at the Smart Salem clinic, a state-of-the-art facility operated by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).
