The Alhosn app helps us achieve this goal in a seamless, secure and effective manner.”
Developed in the UAE, Alhosn is a joint initiative between the Ministry of Health and Prevention and local health authorities and is endorsed by the National Authority for Emergency and Crisis Management. It is the official COVID-19 results app for the UAE and provides quick access to COVID-19 test results and vaccination information.
