American Hospital Dubai has announced the opening of three medical tourism representative offices in Nigeria this year as part of an expansion plan of 30 offices across crucial African and Eastern European locations. The initiative supports the UAE’s efforts to be a global medical tourism hub. Buti Al Mulla, Chairman of the Boards of Directors of Mohamed & Obaid AlMulla Group, Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of Mohamed & Obaid AlMulla Group and American Hospital Dubai, Dr Marwan AlMulla, CEO of Health Regulation Sector at Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Tonye Princewill, Chairman of RivExel and Tayyibat Mohammed, Nigerian Consul General, were present at the signing ceremony. The new offices in Nigeria will facilitate patient access to American Hospital Dubai’s world-class medical services and innovative healthcare excellence in oncology, cardiac care, and orthopaedic surgery. American Hospital Dubai’s commitment to the UAE’s medical tourism goals is exemplified in its dedicated, tailored and round-the-clock international patient services. The hospital’s International Patient Team plays a crucial role in this initiative. Its staff are fully trained to assist and advise patients and their families on consultations, schedule appointments with the right doctor, and coordinate patient referrals. The International Patient Team also provides visa assistance, air travel arrangements, and hotel accommodations with access to the hospital’s specialist doctors for comprehensive virtual consultations and addressing enquiries before patients arrive in the UAE.
