DUBAI, 30th May, 2024 (WAM) -- Sheikh Rashid bin Hamdan Al Maktoum inaugurated the Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital in Al Qusais today.
He 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.
Spanning 335,000 square feet, this modern tertiary care hospital aims to serve the healthcare needs of both local and international patients, aligning with Medcare's commitment to UAE’s Vision 2031, which aspires to position the country among the top 10 globally for quality healthcare.
Sheikh Rashid bin Hamdan Al Maktoum commented, “Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister 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.”
Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, added, “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. The new Medcare Royal Hospital, situated close to Dubai International Airport and premium residential communities, will help meet this growing demand. We will soon establish five Centres of Excellence (CoEs) 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."
Alisha Moopen, Managing Director and Group CEO, Aster DM Healthcare GCC, stated, “Taking off on our promise We’ll Treat You Well, we have designed Medcare Royal to provide a holistic, multi-sensory healing experience. 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.”
