Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health (DoH) is offering investment opportunities with 100 per cent ownership to boost the overall quality of the healthcare sector.

Foreign investors can now own or co-own private healthcare facilities in the UAE, including general and specialised hospitals, with a capacity of no less than 50 beds.

Dr. Jamal Mohammed AlKaabi, Undersecretary of DoH, is positive that their efforts to attract and stimulate foreign investments will help them meet the present and future demands of the sector.

It is expected to create greater sustainability and enhance the quality of healthcare services.
