Description

With the shift of focus from the conventional healthcare to the health conscious contemporary millennial population, a report by MENA research partners stated that the health care sector of UAE would experience a 600 percent growth in the coming 5 years which can reach to Dirham 1003 million by the year 2021. With the introduction of cosmetic surgeries, day care surgery and digitization, the shift is responsible also to the growth of the trend of medical tourism which would highly affect UAE also. Encompassing a digitally tech savvy young population who believes in preventive care, UAE healthcare shifted its way of operations and focuses towards providing a more specialized and personalized healthcare system as per the requirement. Promoting medical tourism, UAE healthcare holds 26 percent of the GCCC governments’ expenses.
Emirates Hospital Group promised to invest $ 300 million in the UAE healthcare (Building Healthcare, 2016) recognizing the significant part of the government by developing the Dubai Healthcare City which provided the best service for both the patients and the medical professionals.
Though already a popular medical destination, Dubai wants to expand it for which it developed Dubai Health Experience, a medical tourism portal, where anything related to looking for medical help in Dubai comes under one click; from visa services for international medical tourists to information related to hospitality; and the world’s first electronic medical portal aims more than 500000 all over world medical tourists to Dubai by 2020. This can make Dirham 2.6 billion within 2020 through the development of 4 public and 18 private hospitals with a staff count of over 3800 (D'Mello, 2017 ).
