The Dubai Mall Medical Centre showcases advanced diagnostics and modern consulting suites

Underscoring Emaar's development approach of creating integrated lifestyle communities, The Dubai Mall Medical Centre is a value addition to Downtown Burj Dubai, the 500-acre mega-project developed by Emaar Properties. Emaar Healthcare Group will also open two clinics in Arabian Ranches and The Meadows, further establishing the lifestyle appeal of Emaar's communities in Dubai.

Newly opened in the second floor of The Dubai Mall, the healthcare facility is the largest outpatient facility in the region and leverages the medical expertise of US-based Methodist International, to offer the entire spectrum of specialities.

Mr. Omar Al Shunnar, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Healthcare Group, said the response to The Dubai Mall Medical Centre has been positive and encouraging - both from patients and the medical fraternity in the region.

He said:

"Every aspect of the medical centre has been carefully planned - from receiving patients to offering them personalised consultancy and follow-up. The Diagnostic Imaging Centre is the most advanced of its kind and leverages the latest in imaging technology. The consulting suites are designed to relax the patients and are supported by a paperless patient administration through electronic records for ease of access and future referencing."

In addition to its emphasis on evidence-based medicine and commitment to international best practices, The Dubai Mall Medical Centre offers superior hospitality standards with exceptional customer service and a patient oriented experience.

The Dubai Mall Medical Centre's Diagnostic Imaging department features the latest technology in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); Computed Tomography (CT); Conventional radiology (X-ray); Ultrasound; Bone densitometry; Mammography; and Fluoroscopy. Constantly monitored for international quality assurance programmes, the medical centre's Laboratory will play a pivotal role in providing world-class patient care. Services on site include: Biochemistry, Haematology, Microbiology, Immunology and Serology.

Emaar Healthcare Group is mandated with creating healthcare centres in Emaar's communities. "We have ambitious plans to take this successful model of healthcare developments in integrated communities to Emaar's projects in other key global markets," added Mr Al Shunnar.
