Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Unveils Medcare's Flagship Royal Specialty Hospital In Dubai

Sheikh Rashid bin Hamdan Al Maktoum inaugurated the Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital in Al Qusais today. He was accompanied 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 various dignitaries from the government, ministries, health authorities, VIPs, and healthcare staff.

Spanning 335,000 square feet, this modern tertiary care hospital aims to serve both local and international patients. The facility aligns 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. 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 is situated close to Dubai International Airport and premium residential communities. This location will help meet the growing demand for advanced medical services. The hospital will soon establish five Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, and Nephrology.

A Holistic Healing Experience

Alisha Moopen 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."

She added that a floral designer will place bright smiles in patient rooms every day. A housekeeper will use only the finest linen for patients to rest on. Most importantly, a team of outstanding doctors and nurses will ensure better outcomes in more ways than one.

Future Prospects

The new hospital aims to offer advanced world-class care and access to top doctors. This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to Dubai's growing reputation as a hub for medical tourism.
