Employee health confidentiality in a Dubai corporate programme
In an Aafiyah corporate programme, an employee's clinical results go to that employee. The employer receives only anonymised, aggregate information agreed before the programme starts, and only where group numbers are large enough that no individual can be identified from it.

What the employer sees
Before a programme begins, we agree in writing what reporting the employer will receive. That reporting is anonymised and aggregate: participation levels, and broad themes such as how many people were advised to follow up on a cardiovascular or metabolic finding.
Where a group is small, aggregate reporting is reduced or withheld entirely, because a percentage of a handful of people is not anonymous.
What stays with the employee
Test results, clinical notes, diagnoses, prescribed medicines and the content of any consultation stay between the employee and the clinical team. An employee can ask, at any point in the appointment, exactly what information will leave the room.
An employee may choose to share their own results with their employer or insurer. That is their decision to make, not ours and not the employer's.
Regulatory record-keeping
As a DHA-licensed clinic, Aafiyah is required to maintain clinical records and to upload records to NABIDH, the Dubai Health Authority's unified health record. Other licensed UAE providers treating the same patient may be able to view those records.
That is a regulatory requirement applying to licensed clinics in Dubai and is separate from any reporting to an employer.
Consent, in practice
Consent is taken before any test, in person, with an explanation of what the test is for and where the result goes. An employee can decline any individual test, or the programme entirely, without giving a reason to their employer.
Declining is recorded only as non-participation and never as a clinical matter.
What employers can do with the information they receive
Aggregate reporting is useful for planning: which wellbeing themes come up repeatedly, whether uptake is working, and whether follow-up access is adequate.
It is not a performance tool. Aafiyah's corporate content is not used to identify, rank or pressure individual employees about their health.

How are employee results kept private?
Results are released to the employee, not the employer. Consent is taken before any test, records are held under the clinic's medical-records obligations, and aggregate reporting is produced only where individuals cannot be identified from the numbers.
Employees can ask what will be shared before they agree to take part, and can decline any individual test without giving a reason to their employer.

What employers ask before choosing a provider
How do we choose a corporate health provider in Dubai?
+
Ask who actually delivers the care, whether it is one accountable clinical team or a dispatch network, how confidentiality is handled, and what the employer will and will not receive. Ask for the licence details of the clinic behind the service, and how follow-up works after a finding.
What are an employer's responsibilities for employee health in the UAE?
+
UAE employers must provide legally required medical insurance, keep the workplace safe, and respect employee medical confidentiality. Clinical results belong to the employee. Aafiyah does not provide statutory occupational-health certification or fitness-to-work certificates.
Is employee health information kept confidential from the employer?
+
Yes. Individual results go to the employee. Employers receive only anonymised aggregate reporting agreed before the programme starts, and only where group size makes anonymity genuine. Nothing identifiable is shared without the employee's explicit written consent.
What does a corporate wellness programme in Dubai include?
+
A corporate wellness programme with Aafiyah Care Clinic combines employee health checks, GP access, on-site screening days and workplace health education, scoped to your workforce. Every element is delivered by our own British-trained, GP-led clinical team from our Business Bay clinic — not subcontracted to a dispatch app.
How do we start an employee wellbeing programme for our company?
+
Tell us your headcount, sites and what you want the programme to achieve. We propose a scope — screening content, delivery format, on-site days, GP access — and confirm what employees receive and what the employer receives. Programmes are quoted bespoke; there is no fixed package to fit into.
Do you work with SMEs as well as large employers in Dubai?
+
Yes. Workplace wellness works for a ten-person team as well as a thousand-person workforce; the difference is delivery format. Smaller teams often attend the Business Bay clinic in booked slots, while larger workforces are better served by an on-site health day at your office.
