New $190m Dubai hospital hailed as ‘game changer’ for UAE healthcare

Neuro Spinal Hospital and Radiosurgery Centre in Dubai Science Park offers treatment options otherwise only available abroad

A new hospital offering specialised care for spinal, neurosurgical, neurological, orthopaedic and radiosurgery treatments with an advanced cancer centre and neuro-rehabilitation space has opened in Dubai Science Park.

The AED700 million ($190 million) Neuro Spinal Hospital and Radiosurgery Centre has 114 beds – four times the capacity of its former premises in Jumeirah, a statement said.

It added that the hospital also features unique treatment options otherwise only available abroad, including the UAE’s first robotic cyberknife and radiosurgery centre and the first brain surgical suite.

With advanced diagnosis and robotics, it will provide care across neuroscience, spine, orthopaedics and oncology, the statement also said.

Marwan Abdulaziz Janahi, managing director of Dubai Science Park, said: “Building an advanced healthcare industry is one of UAE’s key strategic objectives and we are proud to work closely with our business partners to contribute to this vision.

“The Neuro Spinal Hospital and Radiosurgery Centre reflects our ongoing efforts to enhance Dubai’s medical sector by providing the right business environment and state-of-the-art infrastructure for companies.

“This hospital will contribute to the growth of the healthcare industry in the UAE and the region and provide residents with access to world-class care, promote medical tourism and enhance the UAE’s position as one of the most advanced countries in the world.”

Prof Abdul Karim Msaddi, chairman and medical director of the Neuro Spinal Hospital, added: “We are proud to bring world-class healthcare services to Dubai and believe our next-generation hospital will be a game-changer for the emirate’s and the region’s medical industry.

“Investing in the new centre represents our continued faith in the resilience of the region’s economy, as well as a testament to our ongoing drive towards healthcare innovation in the UAE.”
