EMIRATES TO CREATE DIGITAL HEALTH PASS FOR PASSENGERS

EMIRATES HAS TEAMED UP with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) to create a digital health pass.

It will position Dubai as one of the first cities globally to implement digital verification of traveller medical records related to COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

Emirates and the DHA are collaborating to link the IT systems of DHA-approved laboratories with Emirates’ reservations and check-in systems in order to enable the efficient sharing, storing and verification of passenger health information related to COVID-19 infection, testing and vaccinations – all in a secure and legally compliant manner.

The project is now underway, with the aim of bringing it to “live” implementation to benefit travellers in the coming months.
