<p>The United Arab Emirates ranks 19th in the 2022 World Index of Healthcare Innovation, up from&nbsp;<a href="https://freopp.org/united-arab-emirates-freopp-world-index-of-healthcare-innovation-5ccc1512303f" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">20th in 2021</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://freopp.org/united-arab-emirates-health-system-profile-22-in-the-world-index-of-healthcare-innovation-940c64d53df" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">22nd in 2020</a>. The UAE scored highest on Fiscal Sustainability (1st), owing to its low debt-to-GDP ratio of 19.7 percent, and its low public spending growth.</p> <p>The UAE&rsquo;s heterogeneous system performed poorly in Choice (29th) and only slightly better in Quality (26th) and Science and Technology (25th), despite considerable effort by the Emiratis to attract foreign medical investment.</p> <p>Overall, the UAE is a study in contrasts. In the wealthy, cosmopolitan emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE healthcare performs very well. Its performance in the hinterlands is a different story. UAE ranked 1st on measures of health IT adoption and COVID-19 pandemic performance, while ranking near the bottom of the index in several other categories.</p> <p><a href="https://freopp.org/united-arab-emirates-19-in-the-2022-world-index-of-healthcare-innovation-3b1d32f62c7a"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
