View UAE regulations

Tatmeen is a Ministry of Health and Prevention digital platform that enables the tracking and tracing of all pharmaceutical products in the UAE. It ensures product authenticity and safety throughout the supply chain.

Serialisation is the application of a GS1 approved 2D Matrix barcode and human readable information onto all drug secondary packing. This enables unique identification of each product unit.

Tatmeen became operational on December 13th, 2022, which was 18 months after the decree was issued on June 14, 2021.
