The organisation works with local and international medical staff under the umbrella of the UAE Red Crescent to provide surgical training, assistance with diagnostic procedures and consultations, as well as to provide educational programs in the medical field.
Mr. Michael French, CEO of the American Hospital Dubai, said: "The American Hospital Dubai is delighted to be working with Emirates World Heart, which is a very exciting initiative. As one of the prestigious partners to this valuable program, we will be able to contribute the resources and the skills of our world class Heart Center, which has an all-US physician trained team capable of undertaking high risk procedures using advanced techniques, such as beating heart bypass surgery. Through this partnership, the American Hospital Dubai will provide expert treatment to patients, who would not normally have access to this quality of care, as well as having the opportunity to contribute to the Continuing Medical Education of the health profession in the UAE."
