Research firm Business Monitor International indicates UAE health tourism grows 15 percent annually.

The UAE is attaining premium rankings, leading the GCC in superior health care expertise, affordability, availability and brief waiting periods.

As part of the significant role, which the hospital is playing to help maintain the UAE’s prominent profile abroad as a leading global health tourism destination, Dubai’s newest hospital is attending the European Medical Tourism Expo in Berlin, Germany from April 25-27. This is in collaboration with the Dubai Health Authority, and embodies the hospital’s commitment to supporting Dubai’s vision for medical tourism.

The hospital also facilitates educational sessions for travel agencies, and advertises vigorously on top satellite channels to entice tourists for the betterment of the UAE’s health sector.

The hospital reflects the UAE’s cosmopolitan diversity by assembling highly skilled professionals from Germany, across Europe and beyond — all of whom are at the zenith of their respective specialties. Its quality controls fulfill the most stringent international accreditation criteria.

Mohaymen Abdelghany, CEO of Saudi German Hospital-Dubai, said: “Just as the UAE differentiates itself by thinking beyond the ordinary, Saudi German Hospital-Dubai differentiates itself from other health providers by going beyond conventional medical offerings. We provide holistic, state-of-the art wellness and recreational amenities. We compliment this through synergies with top insurance companies to make our clients’ overall experience as smooth as humanly possible.”

To help accelerate the UAE’s skills transfer, the hospital has training agreements with Europe’s leading medical schools and specialist providers.

This enhances its staff’s skills — and by extension, the UAE’s overall skill set.

The hospital’s spacious premises in Al-Barsha are frequented by clients between Bur Dubai and Jebel Ali, across the UAE and indeed abroad.
