Abu Dhabi, April 6, 2014

The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) has signed an agreement with Canada's largest research hospital, University Health Network (UHN) to help boost the level of medical services provided by its health system facilities.

This will be achieved by entering into international healthcare partnerships in order to share experiences and keep abreast with the latest healthcare technology, since UHN is internationally known for its medical quality and excellence.

The agreement was signed by Seha CEO Rashid Al-Qubaisi and UHN director general Nizar Mohamed in the presence of representatives from the Canadian Embassy and a number of officials from Seha.
 
Under the five-year agreement, both parties will exchange expertise and modern technology, as well as engaging in joint research and training programmes, which will include training of Seha’s medical and nursing staff at UHN in Canada.

Furthermore, the agreement intends to benefit from UHN’s experience and knowledge of scientific research and professional services in developing the healthcare services provided by Seha and its facilities to its patients.

“Due to the fact that UHN represents one of the largest teaching hospitals networks in Canada, and enjoys international reputation and fame, we look forward to gain from their global knowhow and expertise in the medical sector, and harness it to serve the people of Abu Dhabi,” said Al-Qubaisi.  

“The agreement will enable the medical, nursing and management staff at all Seha’s facilities to exchange information, articles, reports and educational materials in order to support education and training programmes at Seha, and develop shared academic projects between both parties. This includes collaborative research, teaching, technical cooperation, and evaluation of specific programmes,” stated the Seha CEO.
