  • United Arab Emirates: Sunday, April 05 - 2009 at 14:17
  • PRESS RELEASE

UEMedical, the healthcare developers behind the pioneering hospital project Danat Al Emarat, demonstrated its unyielding commitment to women's health by supporting the Middle East Obstetrics and Gynaecology Exhibition & Conference 2009.

Reinforced by its high profile partnership with Singaporean global healthcare leaders, ParkwayHealth, UEMedical aspires to advance the education and training of medical professionals who will ultimately become leaders in the delivery of women's health throughout the region.

Parkway specialists visited Abu Dhabi to share their areas of expertise in a bid to support transfer of medical knowledge during the congress and to reveal some of the cutting-edge procedures which will be performed at Danat Al Emarat Hospital.

Amongst the esteemed speakers from Singapore was Dr. Suresh Nair, a Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist who is currently Vice President of the Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society of Singapore, Secretary to the Singapore College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and Clinical Director of the Parkway Fertility Centre.

Dr. Nair's areas of subspecialty include minimally invasive laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery and assisted reproductive technologies. Cheow Seng Lee, CEO of the specialized Gleneagles hospital, and Raju Narayan, President of ParkwayHealth International Operations were also present.

UEMedical's dedication to medical training will be mirrored in its flagship project, Danat Al Emarat, in which the highest international healthcare standards will be realised through its alliance with Parkway. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare delivery, Parkway will provide clinical development services and manage day-to-day operations at Danat Al Emarat.

With international prominence in delivering quality clinical outcomes and performing cutting-edge medical procedures, Parkway will ultimately provide the perfect platform for Danat Al Emarat to become a regional Centre of Excellence in Women's and Children's Health.

The ongoing training of all healthcare professionals at Danat Al Emarat will be coordinated by Parkway, which will ensure that the benchmark in regional healthcare standards are set by the women and children's hospital.

Collaboration between the two entities will be in the form of regular expert visits from Singapore in order to asses and recommend plans to improve services, mentor staff and consult on complex medical cases. In addition, Parkway will arrange for Danat Al Emarat's clinicians to participate in video-conferencing and observership programmes that will help develop close and supportive professional relationships and facilitate the dissemination of current knowledge.

Mohammed Ali Al Shorafa, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of UEMedical said,

"We are indeed privileged for the opportunity to participate, through this year's congress, in advancing medicine through specialized education. To us, world-class medical care involves more than state of the art equipment and highly qualified doctors; ongoing training is paramount in any leading healthcare system. In addition to providing the highest of international standards, through our alliance with Parkway, we aim for Danat Al Emarat to become a well-respected hub for ongoing transfer of medical knowledge."
