| Emaar establishes diabetes center in Dubai The Department of Health and Medical Services (DOHMS), the leading medical service provider in the region, and Emaar Healthcare Group (EHG), the wholly owned subsidiary of Emaar Properties, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians, two prestigious global healthcare institutions, to work together for setting up an advanced Diabetes Center in Dubai. Upon signing of the final contract, the two organizations will share their globally acclaimed best practices, especially in the field of diabetes, a pressing medical concern in the Gulf region, to EHG and DOHMS. EHG had recently also formed a public-private partnership with DOHMS to open world-class medical facilities. The advanced Diabetes Medical Centre is a key component of this partnership. With a capital outlay of AED 18.35 billion (US$5 billion), Emaar Healthcare plans to develop and manage over 100 hospitals, clinics and medical centres in the MENA region, the Indian Subcontinent and South East Asia in the next ten years. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
