Document background
The Authorization Letter Due To Health Condition is a critical document used in the United Arab Emirates when an individual needs to delegate medical decision-making authority due to health-related circumstances. This document becomes necessary when a patient anticipates being unable to make their own medical decisions, whether due to scheduled procedures, chronic conditions, or potential emergencies. The letter must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 2019 (Medical Practice Law) and related healthcare regulations, requiring clear identification of all parties, specific scope of authorization, and proper authentication. It typically includes details about the authorizer, the authorized person, the scope of powers granted, duration of authority, and any specific limitations or conditions. The document serves as a crucial legal instrument in UAE healthcare settings, ensuring continuous medical care while protecting both the patient's interests and the healthcare providers' legal obligations.
