Dubai goes global for medical tourism
Sheikh
Hamdan also personally welcomed a “family” from the flight.
Dubai was officially launched as a global medical tourism destination on
Sunday. This was done through the “Dubai Health Experience-Embrace Life”
when guests from the medical community and the media were taken on board for
a simulated special Dubai-bound Emirates Airlines flight at the Dubai World
Trade Centre. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince
of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, personally stamped
an enlarged passport for all the “passengers”.
Interviewed from the “airport lounge” after The Gulf Today was issued a
“boarding pass for the non-stop DXH001 flight,” the Dubai Health Authority (DHA)-Health
Regulation and Dubai Medical Tourism Project director, Dr Layla Al Marzouki,
said the body was tasked to oversee the healthcare and health system of the
emirate projects at least 500,000 international medical tourism tourists by
2020.
The target is an increase from the 297,510 patients from around the world
who sought treatments or rehabilitation from 26 hospitals in Dubai in 2015.
That was 47 per cent of the 633,000 medical tourists as the remaining 53 per
cent or 335,490 were from the other emirates.
Al Marzouki answered in the affirmative when asked if all medical tourism
patients are covered by medical insurance packages, adding that
international medical insurance companies are based in Dubai.
She added that the DHA has come up with the world’s first one-stop shop
electronic portal www.dxh.ae, to which patients and their families from
around the globe have access.
It will be installed in mobile apps in 10 days.
Patients and their families can book all relevant medical facilities
complete with visa applications, Emirates Airlines (EK) flights (with
discounts), hotel accommodations, leisure and shopping activities, as well
as travel and medical insurance policies, Marhaba Services but also be
informed of the Bill of Rights and the Patient Protection Plan.
“God forbid but if there were complications within one month from the time
treatments or procedures, the patients will be covered by the medical
insurance,” Al Marzouki said.
She mentioned having “peace of mind” with regard to the Bill of Rights and
the Patient Protection Plan.
In her speech, Al Marzouki stated the connectivity of EK to 140 countries,
and the medical/healthcare personnel from 110 nationalities who could very
well communicate with people from all over the world in their very own
languages.
DHA-board chairman and Director General Humaid Al Qatami said the medical
tourism project is “ambitious”, demonstrating the “solidarity of all
stakeholders and business partners from over 25 medical entities and
institutions” fully supported by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai;
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum; and Sheikh Hamdan Bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance and
President of the Dubai Health Authority.
From separate interviews with Zulekha Hospitals Co-Chairperson Zanubia Shams
and Prime Hospital General Manager Riaz Khan, it was gathered that among the
top services offered to international medical tourism patients from Saudi
Arabia, Africa and Europe are bariatric surgery, cosmetic surgery and
dermatology services, and laparoscopy.
“We are competing (in the delivery of services) with South Asia and
Southeast Asia,” said Shams.
Khan said, “Patients want to be slim or lose weight. They want to be
beautiful.”
A video clip of the pilot and his co-pilot communicating with the control
tower staff prior to the landing of DXH001 flight at the Dubai International
Airport was shown.
