Your medical history is stored in your MRN Number. The Government of Dubai has decided to store everyone’s medical records in their MRN Number.

The MRN Number allows the health professional to access the entire medical history of relevant patient. With help of your MRN Number, your doctor can know about all the diseases you had in the past.

In addition, the doctor can also see your health tests and their results (e.g. blood reports) as well as the health treatment that you received in the past.

What is the Use of MRN Number?

The MRN Number allows a health professional to access your medical records but you may think how it is useful for you. If you have a specific health condition or an allergy to one or more drugs, it is also stored in your medical records with your MRN Number.

The MRN Number keeps your medical records up-to-date which helps the health professional (doctor) to give you the best possible treatment for any health issue you face in the future.
