SEHA and Israel’s leading HMO announce collaboration in research and digital health development

Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) has recently partnered with KSM (Kahn Sagol Maccabi), the research and innovation centre of Maccabi Healthcare Services, Israel’s top health maintenance organisation (HMO).

The SEHA-KSM partnership will see Kahn Sagol Maccabi provide support and infrastructure for collaborative, coordinated activities in research, learning workshops and digital health development.

According to the Abu Dhabi Media Office, the alliance will support Abu Dhabi’s intention to create a genomic research registry to optimise clinical data, sample collection and clinical reporting.

“This partnership supports SEHA’s vision and objectives of exploring collaboration opportunities in other areas that foster cooperation in education, research, health technology and clinical programmes. We look forward to a successful partnership and extending this program to our facilities and distinguished practitioners,” said SEHA group CEO Saeed Al Kuwaiti.

KSM will support SEHA in sharing research and knowledge on epidemiological, diagnostic and interventional studies, including clinical trials. The partnership will include workshops on research methodologies and exploring opportunities for health technology, digital health and innovation.

The partnership will also explore ways to expand genetic research capabilities, develop best practices for using genetic data, and develop collaborative studies focusing on the genetic etiology of various morbidities such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

In recent news, SEHA launched a new Mobile Visa Screening Clinic that can visit employees at workplaces across the UAE capital. The move aligns with the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company’s continuous efforts to expand and improve access to visa screening services for corporations.
