Members of the community can meet staff from Moorfields and learn more about the facilities and services offered at the hospital. The 'Health Festival' is a fun and educational event for all the family and is open to the public and free of charge.

Dr Chris Canning, CEO and Medical Director at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, says:
"It is not enough to build a world class eye hospital; an important part of our role is to ensure we create access to our services for as many patients as possible across the region, and this 'Health Festival' is helping us spread the word. Patients across the region are now able to access some of the world's highest quality eye care right here in the UAE - and Dubai Healthcare City."


"Moorfields is delighted to be supporting the first 'Health Festival', which is a great initiative of Dubai Healthcare City and will encourage families and the broader community to see the extensive development and facilities, and learn more about the world class medical care that is available right here in Dubai. We look forward to welcoming the community to our stand, where there will be four different interactive vision tests, and to the hospital in the Al Razi building.

Members of the public wishing to tour the hospital should contact the Moorfields stand at the Health Festival, at any time throughout the event.
