We integrate clinical systems with Malaffi, Abu Dhabi's DOH-mandated Health Information Exchange — HL7 FHIR submission, Emirates ID matching, and sandbox validation.

Malaffi — "my file" in Arabic — is Abu Dhabi's mandated Health Information Exchange: one shared patient record aggregated across the Emirate.
Malaffi aggregates patient records from across Abu Dhabi — SEHA public hospitals, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Mediclinic, and DOH-licensed private providers — into one longitudinal record any authorized clinician can access.
The Abu Dhabi Department of Health requires all licensed facilities to connect and share clinical data to its specifications. The mandate is enforced through facility licensing — connectivity is a prerequisite, not an option.
Malaffi connects facilities through standardized HL7 FHIR interfaces. For digital health companies, one Malaffi integration provides access to aggregated data from the full network — not separate interfaces per hospital.
We build Malaffi integration into clinical systems for the Abu Dhabi market — FHIR interfaces, Emirates ID matching, terminology mapping, and the submission patterns the DOH technical specifications require.
Malaffi is well-specified, but conformant integration is still hard — and where most deployments struggle.
Base FHIR is not enough. Submissions must conform to Malaffi's specific profiles and data requirements for each clinical domain, and validation against the sandbox commonly takes multiple cycles of testing and correction before production access is granted.
Records attach to the patient's Malaffi profile through the Emirates ID. Capturing it correctly at registration — and handling visitors and international patients with the right government identifiers — is what keeps data from being rejected or misattributed.
Local clinical codes must be translated into ICD-10, LOINC, and the Abu Dhabi DOH medication formulary before submission. Mapping that preserves clinical meaning across vocabularies takes knowledge of both the source data and Malaffi's required code systems.
The DOH monitors compliance through submission dashboards and expects high completeness rates. Choosing real-time versus batch correctly per data category — and sustaining quality under live load — is invisible until real clinical volume hits the integration.
A structured path from DOH registration to live submission — each stage with the deliverables that pass Malaffi validation.
Register with the Abu Dhabi DOH and sign the data-sharing agreements governing submission, access, and patient consent — required before onboarding begins.
Malaffi provides developer portal access, the FHIR implementation guide, and credentials for the Malaffi sandbox environment.
Build FHIR submissions for each clinical domain — demographics, encounters, diagnoses, medications, lab results — structured to Malaffi's profiles.
Test against the Malaffi sandbox across all required domains. Malaffi reviews results and flags conformance issues to resolve — often over multiple cycles — before production.
Once validated, the integration submits live patient data to production. The DOH monitors compliance through submission dashboards while facilities maintain completeness and data quality.
We build Malaffi integration for the organisations Abu Dhabi's healthcare data ecosystem runs on. Hover a card to see how we work with each.
Malaffi's technical specifications define the profiles, identifiers, vocabularies, and submission patterns connected systems must use. We implement to those requirements, plus the security and data-domain coverage a conformant Malaffi deployment depends on.
Data exchange conformant to Malaffi's published FHIR profiles and data model — not just base FHIR.
Patient records attach to the correct Malaffi profile through the Emirates ID identifier.
Local clinical codes mapped to the standard vocabularies Malaffi requires before submission.
The full range of clinical data Malaffi aggregates from each connected encounter.
The right submission pattern for each data category, chosen by clinical urgency.
The Department of Health mandate that makes Malaffi connectivity non-optional in Abu Dhabi.
FHIR servers, terminology services, Emirates ID identity matching, and UAE-resident cloud infrastructure — selected to match Malaffi's technical specifications and the DOH validation requirements of Abu Dhabi healthcare deployments.

Malaffi is Abu Dhabi's HIE, mandated by the DOH. NABIDH is Dubai's HIE, mandated by the DHA. They have separate technical specs, onboarding processes, and governance frameworks. Facilities operating in both Emirates must comply with both — and the two platforms currently operate independently.
Yes. UAE residents can access their Malaffi health summary through DOH health applications and the UAE's integrated government digital services — part of Abu Dhabi's strategy to give patients control over their own health information.
The DOH treats Malaffi connectivity as mandatory for facility operation in Abu Dhabi. Non-compliant facilities face warnings, compliance notices, and licensing impacts. Vendors deploying clinical systems in Abu Dhabi should treat Malaffi integration as a standard requirement.
