Dubai’s American Hospital is celebrating a decade of collaboration with the renowned Mayo Clinic, a partnership that has positioned the hospital as a leader in medical innovation in the United Arab Emirates and the broader Middle East and North Africa region. The milestone highlights the growing prominence of Dubai as a global hub for advanced healthcare.
The American Hospital Dubai was the first private healthcare provider in the Middle East to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network in 2016, granting it access to the latest medical knowledge and fostering collaboration between physicians to improve patient care.
The successful partnership, now in its tenth year, reflects a shared vision of transforming patient care, promoting innovation, and solidifying Dubai’s position as a leading global center for healthcare excellence. Mayo Clinic is recognized globally for its collaborative, patient-focused treatment model, leadership in precision medicine, multidisciplinary approach, and commitment to research and innovation, investing over $1 billion annually in research.
“We are pleased to celebrate ten years of the American Hospital Dubai joining the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a pivotal moment in our journey toward medical excellence,” said Sharif Bashara, CEO of Mohammed & Obaid Al Mulla Group and American Hospital Dubai. “We are incredibly proud of our long-term strategic partnership with Mayo Clinic, which continues to strengthen its presence and impact year after year, embodying shared values dedicated to elevating the healthcare system, harnessing the power of education to drive transformative change in the health sector, and promoting scientific research as a cornerstone of medical excellence.”
Bashara added, “Mayo Clinic is a leading global medical reference, and we are honored to partner with them in this noble humanitarian mission to build a healthier future for all. We glance forward with confidence and ambition to continuing this fruitful collaboration and achieving further qualitative achievements in the coming years.”
Membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network provides select independent healthcare institutions with exclusive access to Mayo Clinic’s expertise, resources, and medical knowledge, following a rigorous evaluation process. This access allows healthcare providers to quickly access the latest research, diagnostic recommendations, and treatment options from Mayo Clinic when it benefits patients.
This resource-sharing approach enables the American Hospital Dubai to deliver world-class healthcare by combining a deep understanding of patients’ specific medical needs with Mayo Clinic’s expertise, ensuring accurate and personalized care without the need for patients to travel abroad. Here’s achieved through several key channels:
• AskMayoExpert: A platform created and used by Mayo Clinic physicians, with information regularly reviewed to reflect the latest medical expertise.
• eConsults: This service enables physicians to communicate directly with Mayo Clinic experts to ask specific questions about clinical cases.
• eBoard Conferences: Facilitate discussions of complex cases within multidisciplinary teams from Mayo Clinic and network members.
• Care Program Consultations: Provide an in-depth understanding of Mayo Clinic’s care models and clinical practices, and how to design and implement care programs.
These benefits form the foundation of the partnership between the American Hospital Dubai and Mayo Clinic, which is based on adopting best practices to enhance patient care, improve clinical performance, integrate technology, increase operational efficiency, and achieve sustainable strategic alignment.
The development of specialized, high-precision service lines is another key area of collaboration, playing a crucial role in improving diagnostic accuracy, treatment plans, and patient outcomes, leveraging Mayo Clinic’s advanced expertise. These services are an essential element of the comprehensive therapeutic experience, ensuring that even rare medical conditions receive the same level of excellence.
periodic conferences to review complex medical cases and deaths contribute to faster clinical decision-making, improved performance, and a strategic roadmap for developing services and treatment protocols. Mayo Clinic’s consultative support also helps integrate scientific research into clinical processes, enhancing compliance with global standards.
The establishment of the first medical school in the United Arab Emirates to award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, designed under the guidance of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, demonstrates the long-term impact of this partnership. The school will serve as an advanced healthcare simulation center for training and medical education, within a global academic framework encompassing curriculum development, recruitment of faculty, and governance.
The medical school is part of the growing collaboration between the two institutions, reaffirming their commitment to a “patient-first” approach by creating an infrastructure for clinical research, improving resource investment, integrating research with clinical practice, and developing fresh treatment protocols aligned with international standards, providing comprehensive and integrated care under one roof and enhancing patient confidence and satisfaction, ensuring that patients in Dubai and the region receive advanced care without the need to travel abroad.
The two leading healthcare providers also share a goal of improving access to advanced laboratory diagnostic services for healthcare providers in the region, recognizing the importance of cutting-edge diagnostics in developing healthcare and helping physicians manage complex cases. Mayo Clinic Laboratories and the American Hospital Dubai are collaborating to improve access to complex laboratory diagnostic services and enhance the level of patient care.
Joint branding strategies and campaigns between the American Hospital Dubai and Mayo Clinic reinforce the hospital’s position as a global leader in healthcare and strengthen relationships with stakeholders through joint market entry and communication strategies.
The collaboration between the American Hospital Dubai and Mayo Clinic aligns with Dubai’s ambition to become a global center for medical tourism and advanced healthcare, contributing to the long-term goals of the United Arab Emirates in the field of sustainable healthcare and innovation.
This sustainable partnership ensures the continuation of excellence in clinical care, education, and scientific research, along with serving the community through joint community awareness campaigns and health summits, solidifying the American Hospital Dubai’s position as a leader in public health and strengthening its relationships with local and regional communities.
This collaboration represents a forward-looking effort to achieve stronger, healthier, and more beneficial outcomes for all. The partnership between the American Hospital Dubai and Mayo Clinic is based on shared values, integrated goals, and a single mission: to build a healthier tomorrow through the right priorities and principles to serve humanity.
