Rayan FaroukIn Dubai, the healthcare landscape is not only shaped by regulations but also by data-driven decisions. One key player in this process is the Dubai Statistics Centre (DSC). The DSC collects and analyses data across various sectors—including healthcare—to guide public policy, resource allocation, and the future of medical services in the emirate.
For healthcare providers, contributing accurate data to the DSC isn’t just about compliance—it’s also a way to help shape the city’s health priorities. Whether you’re a solo practitioner, a speciality clinic, or a multi-branch medical centre, understanding your role in this ecosystem is essential.
The Dubai Statistics Centre, a division of the Dubai Government, is responsible for gathering, analysing, and publishing official statistical data across the emirate. Its purpose is to provide a reliable source of data to support planning, development, and investment across all sectors, including healthcare. The information helps health authorities like the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) understand service trends, patient needs, and gaps in the system.
The healthcare statistics collected may cover:
- Number of outpatient visits and inpatient admissions
- Types of services provided
- Patient demographics
- Staffing levels
- Facility capacity
- Special procedures performed
Should you submit to DSC?
Dubai’s healthcare system thrives on collaboration and transparency. Clinics that ignore or delay submission risk falling out of compliance, which can have regulatory consequences. Submitting your clinic’s data helps in planning citywide health services, improving public health outcomes, avoiding duplication of services and supporting benchmarking and healthcare quality improvement.
Each facility might be asked to provide a different set of indicators depending on its size and speciality, but commonly requested data includes:
- Monthly outpatient visit volumes
- Types of treatments and procedures conducted
- Bed occupancy rates (for inpatient facilities)
- Number of staff by category (doctors, nurses, technicians, etc.)
- Patient demographics (age, gender, nationality)
- Equipment availability
The DSC specifies the format in which this data should be submitted—usually Excel or CSV templates—on a monthly or quarterly basis.
How to Submit Your Data to DSC
If your clinic is new to this, here’s how to begin:
- Register your facility with the DSC (if not already registered).
- Check the reporting requirements as per your clinic’s speciality and size.
- Gather data for the required period, making sure it is accurate, complete, and up to date.
- Format the data as required—usually using templates provided by DSC.
- Submit your report through the appropriate government portal or via email, as specified.
It can be a time-consuming process, especially for clinics that still rely on manual record-keeping or fragmented systems.
We understand the importance of data compliance, without letting it distract you from patient care. That’s why our system can generate a ready-to-submit DSC report directly from your clinic’s daily records.
With just a few clicks, you can:
- Generate monthly or quarterly statistical reports in the exact format required by the DSC
- Pull in data from appointments, procedures, patient files, and staff records automatically
- Save time and reduce errors by eliminating manual entry
- Ensure your clinic is always DSC-compliant
Our tools are designed to help clinics like yours handle reporting requirements without stress. No more hunting down spreadsheets or reconciling patient numbers by hand—just accurate, transparent data that reflects the great work you do.
The Dubai Statistics Centre plays a crucial role in shaping healthcare decisions across the city. By submitting your clinic’s data regularly, you’re helping build a smarter, healthier Dubai. Whether you’re a seasoned provider or a new clinic owner, it pays to be organised and compliant.
