UAE Health Policy Impact in Maternal & Child Health Care

​Maternal and Child Health policy guides the decisions on the type of MCH technologies and medical equipment needed to be developed and used, including how to plan and finance health services. There are three types of policy terms including the short-term, medium-term and long-term. In the UAE, the health policy-making and development is a 5 stage process cycle including policy preparation; policy formation; policy adoption and legitimization; policy implementation; and policy assessment and evaluation. Leadership and policy involvement in MCH assures the preparation of others with the skills, the knowledge, the will, the traits, the conviction, and a sense of purpose with the hope of improving the safety, health and well-being of mothers and children.
