Dubai Health Authority Call Centre goes 24/7

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 2, 2015: In a move to provide customer centric services, the Dubai Health Authority(DHA)has announced that it has extended its Call Centre operations to provide round-the-clock support to its customers.

Sheikha Al Rahoomi, director of customer relations at DHA, said: “Since the 1st of March, the DHA Call Centre( 800342) is operational 24/7. This decision is in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai that government entities should provide services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and ensure that they go to the people rather than people going to the government for services. In line with HH’s vision and the Dubai Health Strategy 2013-2025, the Authority decided to expand its call centre services.”

Al Rahoomi said the customer centric approach will ensure callers have 24/7 access to get their queries resolved.

DHA’s Call Centre was established in December 2011 and since then, until January 2015, customer service representatives have answered 450,000 calls. Call

Centre agents are fluent in English, Arabic, Urdu/Hindi, Farsi and French.

Al Rahoomi said a majority of the queries pertain to licensing services, medical fitness services, complaints and suggestions, information with regard to health services as well as information about DHA’s campaigns and events.
