ABU DHABI (WAM)

Burjeel Holdings has announced the launch of nine new primary care clinics across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Dubai.

These facilities will enhance access to comprehensive primary care services, catering to diverse demographic segments and improving community health outcomes.

The UAE’s healthcare strategy emphasises the importance of primary care in promoting preventive healthcare and managing chronic conditions through early detection and treatment.

The new clinics will deliver diverse services designed to meet the specific healthcare needs of various communities, including residential and industrial areas, providing accessible, high-quality care close to patients’ homes and workplaces.

The new primary care clinics will reinforce Burjeel Holdings’ established hub-and-spoke network, which is forecast to perform more than 300,000 outpatient visits per year and drive cross-group referrals.

The facilities will serve as community-based hubs, offering convenient access to primary healthcare services, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, dental care, family medicine, and radiology.

For more complex medical needs, patients are referred to Burjeel’s hospitals and day surgery centres, which provide secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care.

With this expansion, six clinics will open in the Abu Dhabi region (Medeor Al Nahyan, LLH Najda, LLH Ghayati, Lifecare Al Mafraq, LLH Al Nasser, and LLH Razeen), as well as two clinics in the Al Ain region (LLH Al Noud and LLH Al Hilal) and one clinic in Dubai (LLH Dubai Investment Park).

The new facilities, which are the result of an Dh20 million investment by Burjeel Holdings, are expected to be fully operational within the next two months.

Group CEO of Burjeel Holdings, John Sunil, commented, “We are delighted to launch these nine new clinics as part of our ongoing efforts to broaden access to primary care across the UAE. This expansion underscores our commitment to supporting the nation’s healthcare objectives and ensuring that every resident has access to top-tier healthcare services, regardless of their location or demographic.”
