Dubai Healthcare City partners with Korea’s Asan Medical Center

Asan Medical Center, one of Korea’s largest and leading hospitals, will set up its centre in the Middle East for the first time, having partnered with Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) and Scope Investment, a UAE-based private investment group, at Arab Health 2022.

Jamal Abdulsalam, CEO, Dubai Healthcare City Authority, said the agreement builds on the long-standing strategic relationship between the UAE and South Korea across various sectors.

He added: “Integrating Asan – UAE Gastroenterology Hospital into the DHCC community will serve a considerable number of patients locally and regionally. The hospital will reduce the need for long-distance travel to obtain high-quality medical services.”

The 60-bed hospital will include royal and VIP rooms, and four operating theatres.
