Imperial College London Diabetes Centre (ICLDC), which is part of the Mubadala Health network, has partnered with Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhabi, to provide ophthalmology services for ICLDC patients in the UAE’s capital.
Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhabi is also a Mubadala Health partner.
The two healthcare brands from the UK’s National Health Services (NHS) will collaborate under ‘one roof’, offering patients access to ophthalmic services delivered by Moorfields’ physicians at the ICLDC Khaleej Al Arabi branch, in Abu Dhabi.
Dr Nicholas Richards, executive director at ICLDC, said: “ICLDC was built on the foundation of our long-standing partnership with the NHS, as our leadership recognised from the beginning the importance that international partnerships play in the success of advancing medical expertise within the UAE. We are proud to join hands with another Mubadala Health partner, as it is through sharing synergies, knowledge and skills around diabetes that we are able to offer a multidisciplinary holistic approach to our patients.”
Dr. Esmaeil Mohammad Arbabi, medical lead and consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhabi, commented: “We look forward to delivering these patient-centric solutions in collaboration with ICLDC, and helping educate patients with diabetes on how to maintain healthy vision.”
