Mubadala Health, the integrated healthcare network of Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Investment Company, has announced its foray into Dubai for the first time.
The expansion of Mubadala Health into Dubai is in collaboration with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Ministry of Health & Prevention (MOHAP).
Mubadala Health said it is committed to a “significant investment” in Dubai’s healthcare sector, starting with the opening of an advanced stand-alone day surgery and medical facility in Jumeirah in the third quarter of 2022.
The announcement – made during the Arab Health Congress and Exhibition 2022 at the Dubai World Trade Centre – will see a new 125,000 square foot facility opening to offer a wide range of in-demand specialties delivered by world-class physicians and medical experts including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Imperial College London Diabetes Centre, Healthpoint and Amana Healthcare.
Services will include gastroenterology, sleep medicine, ENT surgery for adults and pediatrics, rehabilitation, neurology, orthopedics and respiratory medicine services.
AbdulRahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais, the UAE’s Minister of Health and Prevention, lauded Mubadala Health’s plan to expand.
“Mubadala Health’s plan will help achieve the common national goals of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the UAE health sector, and consolidating the country’s position as a leading destination for innovative health care, something which will reflect positively on realising the sustainable development goals,” he said.
Awadh Seghayer Al Ketbi, director-general of the DHA, said the DHA is continuing to strengthen Dubai’s healthcare network through cooperation with organisations in the private healthcare sector, adding that Mubadala Health’s expansion in Dubai represents an “important addition to Dubai’s healthcare system”.
Hasan Jasem Al Nowais, CEO of Mubadala Health, said: “Dubai has always been an attractive market for healthcare investors and we value the DHA’s support as we accelerate the development of our projects in Dubai.
“Through our expansion, the same level of care will be delivered closer to people living outside of Abu Dhabi, building on our continuous commitment to improve long-term health.”
