World News | DoH Launches 'Sanadkom' Initiative to Facilitate Procedures for Bereaved Families

Abu Dhabi [UAE], January 19 (ANI/WAM): The Department of Health - Abu Dhabi (DoH) has launched phase one of the Sanadkom initiative, part of the Abu Dhabi Programme for Effortless Customer Experience, to simplify government procedures for the families of deceased UAE Nationals, including releasing a death notification for disbursing retirement pensions to their beneficiaries.

Sanadkom aims to simplify the customer experience and facilitate procedures for the families of the deceased to access government services and support them upon the passing of an Emirati family member.

As part of the initiative, a representative from the joint government support team will be assigned to assist bereaved families on a case-by-case basis via the phone, ensuring the provision of all services without the need to visit any government entity in person.

This will provide families to complete all necessary death-related transactions such as obtaining the death certificate, arranging for the burial of the deceased, and distributing the retirement pension benefits to the beneficiaries on behalf of the insured or the deceased.
