Five VIP and two royal suites have added a lavish touch to the healthcare services provided at the hospital.

Inaugurating the new facilities on Thursday, Qadhi Saeed Al Murooshid, Director-General of Dubai Health Authority, said the authority should be able to provide from the very basic in healthcare to the more luxurious options for the people and visitors alike.


“Keeping in tune with the way healthcare is being provided today, the move will ensure that Dubai further establishes itself as a place for medical tourism,” he added.

The VIP rooms, open for both UAE nationals and expatriates, have a patient’s room and another room for the family members. The two royal suites have a dining room and a majlis as well and are not open for public use. The ground floor of the hospital has two VIP suites and one royal suite for men. The first floor has two VIP suites and a royal suite for women. In addition, the Emergency and Trauma Centre has one VIP suite. “The manner in which healthcare is provided is changing and in recent times, along with good quality healthcare, luxury is also being considered. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for such services in the health sector and we are glad that we have been able to cater to this demand,” said Dr Shawqi Khoori, Director of Rashid Hospital.
