Analysis
Clyde & Co's Allison Beirne, Alexis Golding and Wayne Jones examine the impact of compulsory health insurance being introduced in the UAE and how it is likely to be rolled out across the UAE in light of recent developments, including the publication of a draft Federal Health Insurance Law, which appears to envisage the establishment of a Federal Health Insurance Authority, and the establishment of a health insurance body in the Emirate of Sharjah
Draft Federal Health Insurance Law
The potential establishment of a "Federal Health Insurance Authority" has been signalled in the publication of a draft Federal Health Insurance Law, which was displayed on the UAE Ministry of Finance website until very recently. It is not clear if the draft law was issued for comment, nor what form of consultation (if any) is to take place on the new proposals.
