Health sector virtual response | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

MoPH and TASMU have launched 13 virtual clinics across their primary care (PHCC) and secondary/tertiary care (HMC and Sidra) facilities, and 5 laboratory compounds. These include urgent care for primary health care, mobile doctors clinics for the specialist ambulatory department, mental health services, a dental clinic for primary health care and more.
