Emirates Health Services (EHS) has successfully completed an assessment of its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) becoming the first organisation to do so with LRQA.
This achievement underscores EHS's commitment to innovation and excellence in Artificial Intelligence (AI) development, aligning with international best practices.
The successful ISO 42001 assessment, a significant milestone for EHS, represents a critical step in enhancing the organisation's AI management capabilities, ensuring robust and effective AI governance, risk management, and compliance with ethical requirements.
LRQA, the leading global assurance provider, delivered its first assessment based on the ISO 42001 standard with EHS. The standard focuses on establishing and maintaining effective AI management systems, covering various aspects such as AI ethics, transparency, and accountability. The successful completion of this assessment highlights both the comprehensive nature of EHS's AI management system and LRQA's expertise in navigating the complexities of AI governance.
"We are proud to have partnered with Emirates Health Services in their journey towards achieving AI best practice," said Ayman Ktaily, Strategic Account Manager at LRQA. "Emirates Health Services chose LRQA not only for our longstanding reputation but also for the strong relationships we’ve built over the years, especially in the government sector. Our successful completion of this assessment was driven by exceptional teamwork and technical excellence.

With the EHS’s strategic direction towards adopting the latest technologies to enhance the people wellbeing, this achievement is a testament to their Pioneership in the healthcare sector. This achievement not only enhances their operational excellence but also reinforces their commitment to delivering safe, effective, and ethical AI-driven healthcare solutions.

Mubaraka Ibrahim, Executive Director of IT Sector at Emirates Health Services.
The implementation of the AI standard [ISO 42001] was helpful to us in our journey of deploying AI in different areas of medical imaging.
This milestone reflects the growing importance of AI in healthcare and the need for robust management systems to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly and effectively. As more organisations recognise the value of AI in transforming industries, the demand for internationally recognised certification and assurance – against standards like ISO 42001 - is expected to increase.
