The Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information Security Programme (AAMEN) is an initiative by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi to ensure the emirate’s healthcare sector adheres to robust information security and data privacy standards. The programme includes the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Strategy, which outlines the sector's approach to mitigating cyber threats, with areas of focus such as cybersecurity governance, resilience, capabilities, partnerships, maturity, and innovation. A key component of AAMEN is the ADHICS V2 standard, which establishes the minimum cybersecurity requirements for healthcare facilities. Other initiatives under AAMEN include awareness programs, partnerships with the Abu Dhabi Healthcare CERT team, and support for IoMT security and patient authentication. The programme aims to secure sensitive health data, foster digital transformation, and ensure business continuity.
