How Abu Dhabi Is Innovating for Next-Generation Medicine
With ambitions to become a long-term investment hub, Abu Dhabi continues to grow its world-class healthcare ecosystem. Rapidly establishing itself as a global innovation hotspot, it is investing in cutting-edge infrastructure and capitalizing on its easy access to both Asia and Europe’s markets. Partnerships are the key to success in this region, committing to long-term development of an ecosystem where everyone can benefit.
Strategic Infrastructure and Research
Abu Dhabi has more than 16 research universities and 72 facilities authorized to conduct human subject research, can draw on a deep pool of local research talent, and is investing in revolutionary digital technologies. Core to DoH Abu Dhabi’s future success is its strategic partnerships with laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers and life science businesses. By adopting advanced technologies to provide more effective medical treatments, it is expanding as an innovation hub for the life sciences.
G42 Healthcare is one U.A.E.-based tech company that’s helping to boost local capabilities. In late 2020 the Department of Health (DoH) Abu Dhabi became part of a fast and powerful response to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Less than two years later, it has already handled more than 260 million vaccine doses supplied to 60 countries. Members of the HOPE Consortium, of which DoH Abu Dhabi is one, exemplify this collective effort.
Medical Excellence and Global Reputation
The success of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has grown the emirate’s reputation as a beacon for world-class medical care. More than 100 liver transplants have been completed here so far, and its state-of-the-art cancer center is scheduled to open before the end of 2022.
