Building on the partnership with Methodist International announced last year, these facilities will provide the highest international standards in healthcare delivery.

The expansion of Emaar to healthcare highlights the lifestyle developer’s commitment to create integrated communities with amenities that enhance the quality of life of residents.

Downtown Burj Dubai Medical Centre, which opens later this year in the 500-acre Downtown Burj Dubai community, will be the flagship healthcare facility to open under Emaar Healthcare Group. In addition to providing a full range of primary patient care specialties within a premium out-patient facility, the medical centre will also offer advanced services in diagnostic imaging with on-site laboratory facilities. The opening of Downtown Burj Dubai Medical Centre, a multi-speciality outpatient centre, and the community clinics, will mark the start of a patient referral network which will later be supported by a secondary care hospital.

“Emaar Healthcare Group is dedicated to providing excellent medical facilities, manned by highly-skilled healthcare professionals and equipped with the latest technologies,” said Omar Al Shunnar, Chief Executive Officer of Emaar Healthcare Group. “With a clear commitment to deliver world class healthcare to the communities we serve, we will provide the utmost care and attention to our patients and ensure a caring and secure medical environment with a strong focus on customer service.”

He added: “The partnership with Methodist International underscores our commitment to develop world-class facilities of the highest standards for patients. Methodist Hospital is one of the world’s leading names in healthcare delivery and their reputation and experience complements our objectives. Through our linkage with Methodist, we will leverage their expertise in providing value added services including the ability to source second opinions from the US.”

Emaar Healthcare’s vision is to offer cutting-edge healthcare facilities in the region and beyond, and be a truly global integrated healthcare provider. With the upcoming facilities, Emaar Healthcare is putting in place advanced medical infrastructure, providing modern medical technologies in a state-of-the-art healthcare environment.
