The company has successfully partnered with international companies, who have relocated their production to facilities in the UAE.

Abu Dhabi boost its life science hub appeal

Meanwhile, owing to its strategic geographical location, Abu Dhabi serves as a secure and efficient gateway for global distribution, particularly in the healthcare industry.

The UAE authorities have taken proactive measures by implementing diverse programs and initiatives, fostering an attractive environment for international players to establish in the region.

Leveraging its remarkable advancements in healthcare, the UAE has solidified its position as a prominent hub for medication logistics, transportation, and distribution, playing an active role in improving global health outcomes.

Hayat Biotech, in collaboration with IROS, has established itself as a preferred partner for clinical studies in the healthcare industry, due to its expertise and ongoing commitment to conducting clinical trials.

The company is continuously developing new and innovative biopharma products that address unmet medical needs or improve upon existing treatments, in addition to the eight clinical trials that have already been conducted across the UAE.

“Conducting clinical trials in Abu Dhabi provide access to diverse patient populations that may not be available in other regions,” said Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, Senior Advisor at Hayat Biotech. “This diversity can be crucial in testing the efficacy and safety of drugs in different ethnic groups and people with different health conditions, which can lead to more accurate results and better treatments.”

Its commitment to medical science has made it a trusted partner for biopharma companies looking to conduct clinical studies and bring new products to market.

Hayat Biotech is playing a critical role in driving this progress as Abu Dhabi continues to establish itself as a leading hub for research, development and production of biopharma.
