Dubai launches 'Jabr' system to streamline bereavement, linking families with officers and automating paperwork.

Dubai has launched the 'Jabr' digital system to simplify bereavement processes, assigning a government officer to each case to manage burial, repatriation, and paperwork. A unified platform automatically notifies agencies, speeding up death certificate issuance and reducing family visits to multiple offices. The initiative includes condolence tents, psychological support for students, and religious counseling, part of Dubai’s broader push for compassionate, tech-driven public services.
