Cure at your doorstep: More Dubai residents get health care at home

- BY SAJILA SASEENDRAN

Fewer Dubai residents are physically visiting hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies, thanks to a major transformation led by Dubai Health. The authority has rapidly expanded its telehealth, home delivery, and community care services to bring medical care that meets patients where they are.

The measurable growth in patient-focused services, aligned with Dubai Health's primary value of 'Patient First', was revealed after a meeting of Dubai Health's Board of Directors, chaired by Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Health, in the presence of Shaikh Mansoor Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-Chairman of Dubai Health.

Shifting preferences

Latest figures released by Dubai Health show that telemedicine, which has become a preferred option for many since the pandemic, is increasingly becoming popular.
