Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to showcase the innovation process and strategy applied and implemented in the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) – United Arab Emirates as a case and how it is helped in coping with the changing environment in the field of healthcare. Methods: A comprehensive review of literature was conducted to provide an overview of the current research on the topic, particularly focusing on the MOHAP innovation strategy. Results: MOHAP's innovation system has established a supportive environment that has enabled employees to create numerous innovative projects and ideas. Discussion: This, in turn, has led to an improvement in the services provided to the customers. Furthermore, it's worth noting that MOHAP is consistently striving to enhance their innovation system. Conclusion: The strategy and processes implemented brought innovation in the organisation to new levels of functioning. It is essential to acknowledge and foster such continuing processes of innovation, rather than exclusively focusing on innovations as externally created 'things' that await 'implementation.'
