The UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention has issued a circular that private medical facilities can no longer issue handwritten prescriptions and instead must give electronic or printed versions.
The deadline for implementing the change is six months from the circular's date of issuance.
Illegible handwriting on prescriptions can lead to dispensing incorrect medication or incorrect doses being recommended, potentially resulting in serious complications.
The circular is addressed to the directors of medical districts, managers of private and public medical facilities, private medical practitioners, and managers of private pharmacies.
Dr Amin Hussein Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for the Ministry's Public Health Policy and Licensing, said that handwritten prescriptions issued by government or private medical facilities will not be accepted after the indicated deadline.
The laws indicate that the medicine's name, dosage, route of administration, the name of the patient and the doctor, the physician's signature, and the date of the prescription must be legible on the prescription.
