Burjeel Holdings will operate nearly 60 assets catering to all socio-economic segments across a range of brands, including Burjeel Hospitals, Medeor Hospital, LLH Hospital, Lifecare Hospital, and Tajmeel. It will also consolidate the largest diagnostic network in the UAE and the largest comprehensive cancer center in the UAE.

At Davos, VPS Healthcare also announced its commitment to support Ukrainian refugees at Burjeel House.
Burjeel House will convene intentional, collaborative dialogues on topics from whole body healing to catalysing equitable health training, scaling impact and advancing medical and technological innovation.
“I am pleased to announce our commitment of support for those affected by the crisis in Ukraine. This contribution is being made toward the important task of rebuilding a strong community in the war-torn region. We have seen that children, especially those undergoing cancer treatment, are suffering the most in this very unfortunate conflict. Hundreds have already been evacuated to receive life-saving treatments and Burjeel Holdings will look to provide them with the care they desperately need,” said Dr Vayalil.
