Dulsco, a regional leader in human resource solutions and waste management services, has in association with Dubai Industrial Park, inaugurated the first medical clinic within the park to address the needs of over 42,000 workers across three labour villages.

The clinic is also listed with all major insurance companies in the UAE to extend maximum support and convenience to the significant workforce in the community.

The new health facility provides end-to-end medical services including outpatient consultation, pre-employment and occupational health checkup, health counselling, radiology and pharmacy services, said a statement from Dulsco.

It includes an independent pharmacy that enables easy access and availability to medication and treatments as well as general medical practitioners that are on call to attend to the patients. In addition, it boasts a well-equipped laboratory to cater to any follow-up diagnostic tests that need to be scheduled.
 
Saud Abu Alshawareb, the chief operating officer, Dubai Industrial Park and S Balakumar, the managing director of Dulsco officially inaugurated the hitech facility in the presence of officials from Dubai Industrial Park and other industry officials.

Speaking at the launch, Alshawareb, said: "We are delighted to partner with Dulsco to launch this healthcare facility at Dubai Industrial Park. It will offer high quality medical care and serve as an important value addition to our community."

"The health and safety of our communities and workforce are a core priority for us and this new clinic will ensure the workforce across the industrial park start to take their health more seriously," stated the official.

"We are glad to leverage Dulsco’s considerable expertise in establishing the clinic that in addition to delivering improved healthcare facilities will entail shorter traveling and waiting times for our residents at the park," he added.

Prakash Parab, the director of HR Solutions at Dulsco, said: "Giving back to the community is one of our core values at Dulsco. We highly prioritise our corporate social responsibility mandate and consider health a cornerstone of workplace efficiency."
