Dubai Health Authority introduces smart personnel kiosk for employees

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, February 21, 2015: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) is the first government organisation in the Emirate to introduce a smart personnel kiosk for its employees, said a top DHA official.

Maryam Abdulla Bin Subaih, Director of Human Resources at the DHA, said: “We developed this kiosk keeping in mind the DHA’s smart strategy objectives.  Employees of the DHA can access the services of this smart kiosk by using their Emirates ID. The kiosk offers several services and employees can check annual leave balance, leave history, request for a salary certificate, can apply for leave or view one’s payslip. Employees can also receive a print out of the certificate they have requested.

“Certificates issued will have a reference code along with Dubai Smart Government website link, so that all concerned parties can verify the certificates that are issued from the smart personnel kiosk. The reference code replaces the human resource department signature and approval. Additionally, a copy of the employee’s certificate will be sent to the employee’s DHA e-mail id in a PDF format.”

The first kiosk has been set up at Latifa Hospital and services are available in three languages Arabic, English and Urdu.

Bin Subaih added that at a later stage the authority will expand this service to other DHA hospitals and health centres and will additional features will be added.
