American Hospital Dubai Celebrates a Decade of Pioneering Achievements Through Its Partnership with Mayo Clinic
The American Hospital Dubai, a leader in medical excellence and innovation in the UAE and the broader Middle East and North Africa region, is celebrating ten years of impactful collaboration with the prestigious Mayo Clinic. As the first private healthcare provider in the Middle East to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network in 2016, the American Hospital Dubai has gained access to cutting-edge medical knowledge, enhancing physician collaboration and positively influencing patient care.
A Shared Vision for Patient Care
The fruitful partnership that began in 2016 embodies the shared vision of both institutions to transform patient care, foster innovation, and establish Dubai as a global hub for healthcare excellence. Mayo Clinic is renowned for its collaborative, patient-centered treatment model, leadership in specialized medical fields, and multidisciplinary approach. Notably, it invests over one billion dollars annually in research, highlighting its commitment to advancing medical science.
Significant Contributions to Healthcare
According to Sharif Bashara, CEO of Mohammed & Obaid Al-Mulla Group and American Hospital Dubai, “We are proud to celebrate ten years of being part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a pivotal milestone in our journey towards medical excellence.” He emphasized the long-term strategic partnership with Mayo Clinic, stating that it continues to solidify its presence and influence year after year. This partnership reflects shared values aimed at enhancing healthcare systems and leveraging the power of education to foster meaningful transformation in the health sector.
Quality Benefits for Patients
The Mayo Clinic Care Network comprises a select group of independent healthcare institutions that have undergone thorough evaluation by Mayo Clinic. These institutions are granted exclusive access to its expertise and medical resources. As network members, healthcare providers can quickly access the latest research and diagnostic treatment recommendations from Mayo Clinic whenever required for patient benefit. This resource-sharing approach enables the American Hospital Dubai to deliver world-class healthcare by combining a deep understanding of patients’ medical needs with Mayo Clinic’s expertise.
This seamless integration of knowledge is achieved through various channels, including the AskMayoExpert platform, eConsult services allowing direct communication with Mayo specialists, eBoard conferences for complex case discussions, and comprehensive healthcare consultations that enhance clinical care models.
Academic Excellence and Medical Education
The establishment of the UAE’s first medical school offering a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, designed under the guidance of Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, stands as clear evidence of the long-term impact of this partnership. This institution aims to serve as an advanced healthcare simulation center for medical training and education, embedded within a global academic framework, including curriculum development and faculty recruitment.
The medical school symbolizes the growing collaboration between the two organizations, reiterating their commitment to a “patient first” approach. It establishes a framework for clinical research and aligns new treatment protocols with international standards, ensuring that patients in Dubai and the region receive advanced care without needing to travel abroad.
