Canadian Specialist Hospital (CSH), one of the pioneers in the field of medical tourism in the UAE, has now become an active member of the Dubai Medical Tourism (DMT) Club.

A membership certificate was presented to Dr Haider Al Zubaidy, CEO, Canadian Specialist Hospital by Essa Al Maidoor, director, Dubai Health Authority (DHA).

As part of the club, CSH will bring together healthcare facilities of the DMT programme and thereby create an environment to share experiences and promote Dubai as a Medical Tourism hub.

Moreover, CSH will also actively participate in all the events and seminars conducted by DMT and will be one of the strong voices among others promoting medical tourism in Dubai.

“Canadian Specialty Hospitals is no stranger to medical tourism. Our efforts in this field started way back in 2006. CSH is fully licensed by DHA and recognised as one of the health tourism centres in Dubai. We work very close with DHA and follow their guidelines and we always participate in DHA’s activities and events in this regard,” said Dr Zubaidy

“The hospital has conducted several marketing campaigns and designed attractive packages covering all specialities starting from comprehensive health check-ups, to laparoscopic neurosurgery for patients coming from abroad. Our hospital receives hundreds of patients from across Eastern Europe, Africa and other countries in the Middle East,” he said.

If a patient wishes to avail of a treatment in CSH, the hospital makes all the necessary arrangements for the patients and relatives, inclusive of visa, accommodation, consultation, admission and transportation “We have to ensure that we make the patients feel at home and don’t make them feel that they are in a foreign destination. A vast range of services need to be provided once the patient is admitted to the hospital, including something as basic as translations and all the daily requirements during their stay,” said Dr Zubaidy.

Dubai is considered one of the world’s best and cost effective medical tourism hubs and attracts tourists from across the globe to avail the best health care facilities. This is largely due to the affordable cost of treatment, state-of-the-art medical facilities and the presence of bilingual medical team that can cater to several nationalities from across the globe. – TradeArabia News Service
