Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum at the inauguration of Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital in Dubai on May 30, 2024.

Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum has inaugurated the Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital in Dubai’s Al Qusais area, near the Dubai International Airport. “Under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the healthcare sector has made tremendous progress over the last few decades, driven by his vision for Dubai to have one of the best healthcare sectors in the world. With world-class healthcare institutions bringing global talent and expertise to serve the evolving needs of the regional population, we are glad to present Medcare Royal Specialty Hospital to the citizens of the world,” Sheikh Rashid said at the launch on Thursday (May 30). Sheikh Rashid was joined by Alisha Moopen, Managing Director and Group CEO of Aster DM Healthcare GCC; Dr. Shanila Laiju, Group CEO of Medcare Hospitals and Medical Centres; and esteemed dignitaries from the government, ministries, health authorities, VIPs, and staff from the healthcare group. Dr. Laiju said Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital is set to “revolutionize healthcare delivery in the region" with “world-class medical care combined best-in-class service experience to provide the best healing experience to every patient.” Medcare Royal has been designed to provide a “holistic, multi-sensory healing experience,” Moopen described. “We believe that it is when you are unwell that you need to be pampered - a chef who understands your idea of comfort food, a musician who plays to heal, a perfumer who creates fragrances that soothe you, a floral designer who places bright, colourful smiles in your room every day, a housekeeper who will use only the finest linen for you to rest on, and most importantly, a team of outstanding, empathetic doctors and nurses. Curating the right environment will go a long way to help patients heal faster and ensure better outcomes in more ways than one," she said. Spanning 335,000 square feet, the tertiary care hospital is a 126-bed advanced care facility that integrates over 30 specialties under one roof, combining advanced medical care with a multi-sensory healing experience in a luxurious setting. Manned by a team of experts, the hospital is bringing in 83 doctors with local and international expertise and is equipped with advanced digital technology for enhanced patient care and management, including AI-enabled diagnostic solutions, remote monitoring and consultation, electronic medical records and real-time disease management. “With the evolving demographics in the UAE, there is an increasing demand for specialized and personalized care among the affluent population. The strategic location, offering easy connectivity to the MENA region and Africa for over a billion people, is making Dubai an emerging destination for medical tourism,” said Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare. “We will soon establish five specialist centres in Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, and Nephrology which will go a long way to offer the most advanced world-class care and access to our best doctors," Dr. Moopen added. The hospital will soon introduce quaternary care services such as organ transplantation, radiation oncology, and robotic surgery. This will be Aster DM Healthcare’s 10th hospital in UAE, in addition to 103 clinics and 258 pharmacies. ICA/Expat Media
