SEHA, Jaheziya to boost education, research endeavors with new agreement

ABU DHABI, Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), the UAE’s largest healthcare network, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jaheziya, the UAE’s largest and most comprehensive training initiative established on 19th December, 2020.

The agreement was signed at SEHA’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi with the goal of fostering cooperation between the two entities to develop educational and research activities that would benefit SEHA’s 14000 employees.

With SEHA’s ongoing commitment to education and the overall development of its employees’ skills and knowledge, the agreement with Jaheziya outlines education focused activities that would foster growth and enhance competencies through seminars, workshops, and events. Moreover, clinical and non-clinical trainings for healthcare providers are set to take place targeting physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and administrative teams. Internationally accredited training programmes on first-aid life support, trauma, and disaster management are also embedded as part of the joint plan.

Dr. Adel Alshamry, Chief Executive Officer at Jaheziya, said, “We are thrilled to kick-off our educational and research agreement with SEHA to foster growth and advancement across Abu Dhabi’s healthcare landscape. By joining forces with SEHA, Jaheziya is able to contribute to the long-term success of healthcare providers’ capacities which would positively impact the community.”

“Part of the agreement includes offering educational consultancies and advisory services to beneficiaries as well as facilitating placements of trainees in the right positions. When trainings are put into practice, healthcare providers are able to apply what they learned in real-life situations resulting in greater outcomes,” he added.

As for research cooperation efforts, SEHA and JAHEZIYA will initiate knowledge exchanges in both clinical and non-clinical areas and will also set a focus on service improvement efforts. Research methodology workshops will also come into effect and projects themed around healthcare innovation will be launched.

Saeed Al Kuwaiti, Group CEO, SEHA, commented, “We are proud to announce our five-year agreement with Jaheziya. It serves as a foundational part of SEHA’s mission of providing staff with abundant and contemporary learning opportunities to empower them to take charge and adapt to constant changes in healthcare. Being future-forward is a deeply ingrained value for SEHA, and Jaheziya’s training expertise will help bring our common vision into fruition.”

As the agreement comes into effect, both SEHA and Jaheziya will continue to explore new opportunities for cooperation in academics, research, and quality improvement. With both entities adopting an innovative approach supported by the value of constant progress, the agreement is set to contribute to the growth of human talent in the UAE and healthcare excellence in the region.
