Abu Dhabi has shut down four healthcare facilities after uncovering serious violations involving the illegal issuance of fake sick leaves for money. This is a preliminary step, with plans to refer the entire staff of these facilities to the Public Prosecution for further investigation.
The closure comes after an investigation revealed that the healthcare workers were issuing sick leaves to individuals who had not attended the facilities for medical assessments. These actions were carried out in exchange for money, undermining the integrity of the healthcare system and potentially causing harm to the broader public health infrastructure.
This crackdown is part of Abu Dhabi’s broader efforts to maintain the integrity of its healthcare sector and ensure that medical professionals and institutions operate with the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. The authorities have made it clear that they will take strict legal actions against any healthcare facilities or personnel involved in fraudulent activities.
Abu Dhabi’s health authorities have assured the public that they will continue to monitor all healthcare facilities closely and will not hesitate to take action against those found engaging in illegal or unethical practices. The closure of these four facilities serves as a warning to others in the sector that such behavior will not be tolerated.
The Public Prosecution will now conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, with potential legal consequences for the individuals and organizations involved. This initiative is part of Abu Dhabi’s ongoing efforts to maintain the trust and safety of its residents while ensuring that the healthcare system remains transparent and reliable.
