Mubadala Investment Company has announced that it will bring together six of its wholly-owned medical assets in the UAE into an integrated network to serve patients seeking specialised care
Mubadala Health, an integrated healthcare network, focuses on improving patient experience, finding innovative solutions, fostering collaboration across the sector and forging global partnerships to enhance clinical outcomes.
The six Mubadala Health facilities – Abu Dhabi Telemedicine Centre (ADTC), Amana Healthcare, Capital Health Screening Centre (CHSC), Healthpoint, Imperial College London Diabetes Centre (ICLDC) and National Reference Laboratory (NRL) – will work together to contribute to the health and wellbeing of the communities served through an integrated clinical approach.
In addition, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will remain an integral part of the network and will, together with the six organisations, address some of the most vital health and diagnostic issues in the region.
This includes long-term care and rehabilitation, telemedicine and corporate medical screening, treatment of chronic diseases, comprehensive lab and testing services, and a range of patient care including specialties such as endocrinology, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, dentistry, and digestive diseases.
Hasan Jasem Al Nowais has been appointed as the CEO of Mubadala Health and will direct a diverse team of clinical and non-clinical caregivers across the network. Commenting on the announcement, he said, “Through our vision to transform the regional healthcare landscape, and with the commitment to always put patients first, Mubadala Health enables all members of our community to consistently receive the highest standard of care and the best possible patient experience across the network.
“The network’s leadership team brings entrepreneurial energy and focus on the healthcare sector. We will optimise our resources and increase efficiencies with our partners to deliver value-based healthcare.”
To address the challenges of population health in the UAE, innovation is one of the critical pillars of Mubadala Health. Its multiple centres of excellence across the six assets include diagnostic and treatment areas that address the most pressing clinical needs both, locally and regionally, reducing the need for travel abroad for complex medical care. Together, Mubadala Health’s assets will continue to build a strong referral network for a more seamless patient experience.
Mubadala Health is developing a number of training and education programmes for Emirati caregivers to contribute to the sustainability of the country’s healthcare sector. Collaboration with industry partners and leading educational institutions will also enable Mubadala Health to deliver new treatments and regional ‘firsts’ in patient care.
Mubadala Health’s launch comes in parallel to the end of one of the most challenging years for regional and global healthcare, during which the healthcare sector addressed unanticipated issues from the need for telemedicine solutions to unprecedented screening and lab testing volumes.
