The Itmi’nan programme strengthens early detection of chronic diseases.
Emirates Health Services (EHS) has announced that its ‘Itmi’nan’ comprehensive periodic screening programme completed 32,941 transactions in 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to promote the early detection of chronic diseases.
The programme focuses on identifying conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer at an early stage, while also strengthening preventive care across the community.
Wide range of screenings
Officials said the service provides a comprehensive range of health checks covering heart health, lung diseases, osteoporosis, and mental health, including depression. It also includes vaccinations as part of the screening process.
The programme is available free of charge to UAE nationals, GCC citizens, and People of Determination.
To access the service, individuals first complete a risk assessment questionnaire through a link sent by Emirates Health Services or via its official website. If required, they are then referred for medical screening at primary healthcare centres, with the process taking around 20 minutes.
Strong uptake across centres
According to Emirates Health Services data, the Family Health Promotion Center recorded the highest number of transactions, with 9,157 completed screenings during the year.
This was followed by Abdullah bin Ali Al Sharhan Health Center with 4,455 transactions, and Al Muhaisnah Health Center with 4,365.
Other centres also reported strong activity, including Al Mairid Health Center with 3,485 transactions, Al Faseel Health Center with 3,429, and Al Hamidiya Health Center with 3,089.
Meanwhile, Khorfakkan Health Center recorded 2,445 transactions, while Zudna Health Center reported 1,906.
The mobile ‘Itmi’nan’ unit completed 610 screenings, reflecting ongoing efforts by Emirates Health Services to bring healthcare services closer to the community.
Focus on prevention
Emirates Health Services said the programme forms part of its broader strategy to strengthen preventive healthcare and reduce the impact of long-term illnesses.
Looking ahead
Authorities said they will continue expanding the programme and encouraging more people to take part in regular health checks.
They stressed that improving awareness and access to screening services remains essential to enhancing overall community health and reducing the future burden of chronic diseases.
