Burjeel and Abu Dhabi explore integrated healthcare for Al Dhafra

They are looking at a model covering advanced clinical care, amongst others.

Burjeel Holdings and state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) are exploring a broader healthcare model for Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra region, the companies said on 29 September.

The two are looking at a model covering advanced clinical care, occupational health, preventive medicine, wellness, digital health and healthy ageing services, for ADNOC employees, their families and the wider community.

They are also considering turning ADNOC's Occupational Medical Centre into a ‘One Health Hub’ and assessing opportunities to expand outpatient and day-surgery capabilities.

Burjeel founder, chairman and CEO Shamsheer Vayalil said the next phase goes beyond running a hospital to building an integrated ecosystem for Al Dhafra.

Meanwhile, Khalid Al Hosani, ADNOC's acting executive vice president for group business support, called employee and community health a strategic priority.
