Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) has announced that birth certificates of babies born in government healthcare facilities in the emirate can now be collected from the facilities themselves and Al Tamm service centres, Khaleej Times has reported. This follows the introduction of the e-birth certificate system which links public healthcare facilities and Tamm service centres in the Western Region with the authority's database electronically. "With the introduction of the system, UAE nationals and residents won't need to visit the HAAD offices to get birth certificates issued," said Dr Jamal Al Mutawa, Manager, External Services at the HAAD. "The new system will help improve the birth certificate issuance process and save time and efforts of the public," he added.
