United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, September 23 - 2009 at 10:57
PRESS RELEASE

Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai (MEHD), the Dubai branch of the world renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, has signed a direct settlement agreement with Saudi Arabian Insurance Company (SAICO), based in Riyadh, under which MEHD will provide specialist outpatient and daycase care and treatment to patients holding valid medical cards issued by SAICO.

Holders of valid Gold and Blue medical cards issued by SAICO will now be able to access world class eye care services, consultations and treatment provided by Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, which opened in Dubai in 2007.

Dr Chris Canning, CEO and Medical Director at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, said:

"This new agreement with Saudi Arabian Insurance Company is an important development for Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, as we continue to build our patient base in Saudi Arabia. We aim to replicate the arrangement with SAICO with other insurance providers in other GCC countries, as we extend our reach to the region. These agreements help patients to benefit from the extensive medical care provided by Moorfields in diagnosing and treating eye conditions, along with all the convenience offered by local insurance providers."

The services and extent of treatment provided by Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai under insurance agreements are dependent upon the type of insurance cover held by individual patients.
