What it does

Abu Dhabi Health Data Services (ADHDS) operates Malaffi, the health information exchange platform that connects public and private healthcare providers in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Department of Health, Abu Dhabi (DoH) describes Malaffi as established as a public-private partnership with the DoH and launched in 2019, and describes ADHDS as an M42 company. No source read states government ownership, and none is claimed.

Read the full description

What the DoH requires, stated narrowly from its own documents: its Health Information Exchange standards page says the DoH mandates specific coding standards and data classification for information transmitted from source systems to Malaffi. Circular USO/10/2026 (19 January 2026) requires healthcare facilities to comply with the data reporting requirements to Malaffi for the datasets applicable to their facility type; circular USO/30/2026 (19 February 2026) requires clinicians to use Malaffi before requesting laboratory or radiology examinations; circular USO/171/2026 (listed 7 September 2026) extends mandatory onboarding to traditional, complementary and alternative medicine centres. These documents do not support a claim that every use of Malaffi, or any particular feature, is mandatory. The circulars are marked by the DoH as regulatory documents not for media publication and are cited here by number and title only.

What the company says

The company’s own statements, attributed to it and not presented as established fact.

The operator reports 3,147 signed facilities, 3,144 connected facilities and 56,192 end users with access; the DoH gives over 2,700 facilities.

Notes on this record

The founding year is not recorded: the DoH dates Malaffi's launch to 2019 and the operator's site refers to a partnership since 2022; neither is an incorporation date.
