This partnership will facilitate knowledge exchange between both institutions across various specialities, collaboration among doctors to bring the best to UAE and further enhance the quality of care for patients, encourage advanced medical training, upscaling of skills and capabilities at the hospital.

“Once the Abraham Accord was signed and ties between the UAE and Israel Agreement were established, we started to explore opportunities for association with healthcare providers in Israel. We zeroed in on Sheba, which has been recognised as one the top 10 best hospitals in the world by Newsweek magazine,” said Dr Azad Moopen, founder chairman and managing director, Aster DM Healthcare.

“We are excited as this partnership will help to serve as a collaboration model between the two institutions in clinical services and lead to an increase in innovation and research initiatives.”

This ground-breaking partnership will see an exchange of knowledge between Medcare Women & Children Hospital and Sheba Medical Center that will focus on specialised care for women’s health, in the areas of endometriosis, minimal invasive surgery, reproductive endocrinology and fetal medicine. This will expose Medcare’s medical practitioners to cutting-edge research programmes, training and innovative treatments which in turn, will help to advance the clinical care that is offered to patients across these specialties.

“This new collaboration between Medcare Women & Children’s Hospital and Sheba Medical Center, represents yet another giant step forward in building bridges between our two nations and offering hope without boundaries to anyone who seeks medical care,” said Prof. Yitshak Kreiss, director-general of Sheba Medical Center.
