Through the collective efforts of the Dubai government and the private healthcare sector, Dubai has become a hub of high quality healthcare services for the region. The American Hospital Dubai has supported this achievement with a combination of American/Western credentialed physicians, highly trained staff, world class facilities and the latest in technology, creating an institution that has helped to change the view of healthcare in the Gulf region."
