The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, NMC Royal Hospital, Mediclinic Parkview Hospital and Saudi German Hospital to provide quality integrated healthcare services to visitors and exhibitors during Expo 2020 Dubai.

Dr Younis Kazim, CEO of the Dubai Healthcare Cooperation at DHA signed each of the four MoUs with Dr Mohaymen Abdelghany, CEO of Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, Ashish Kumar Jaiswal, vice president, Operations (Dubai Region) at NMC Healthcare, Dr Reem Osman, CEO of Saudi German Hospital Group UAE and Dr Tarek Fathy, head of operation at Mediclinic Middle East.

The MoUs aim to support the DHA's efforts to provide a safe and healthy environment for Expo 2020 Dubai visitors and exhibitors as well as providing them with quality medical services and supporting the authority in dealing with any potential emergencies, said a statement.

Dr Kazim said that DHA considers the private sector as its strategic partner in developing Dubai’s healthcare sector and so is always keen to expand and strengthen its partnership with leading private hospitals, medical centres and clinics to achieve the authority’s goals of achieving a healthier and happier society.

Dr Kazim explained that preparing to medically secure Expo 2020 Dubai requires concerted efforts from both the public and private health sector and relevant authorities, to reach the highest levels of care, and ensure the availability of integrated medical services for Expo 2020 Dubai visitors and exhibitors.

He added that the authority spares no effort to expand its partnerships with all organisations in order to sustain its services during and after the big event.

Dr Mohaymen Abdelghany, CEO of Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, said: “We are proud to be part of this initiative, which supports the Dubai Health Authority in their commitment to provide access to urgent medical care for all the visitors of Expo 2020 Dubai.”

“We are fully prepared to accommodate a large variety of complex cases through our medical team of over 250 physicians, the latest medical technology and accredited centres of excellence,” he said.

Ashish Kumar Jaiswal, vice president, operations (Dubai Region) at NMC Healthcare on the other hand said that NMC Royal Hospital values its partnership with the DHA and looks forward to work with the authority to provide quality services during Expo 2020 Dubai.

Dr Reem Osman, CEO of Saudi German Hospital Group UAE, said that the Saudi German Group looks forward to having an effective partnership with the DHA that will provide patients with quality services and hence achieve customer satisfaction.

Dr Tarek Fathy, head of operation at Mediclinic Middle East expressed his appreciation to Mediclinic Parkview Hospital for its cooperation with the authority especially in relation to emergency cases, stressing that the emergency department at Parkview hospital is equipped with qualified doctors and staff as well as the latest-state-of-the-art technology. – TradeArabia News Service
