Medcare Hospitals and Medical Centres has opened an innovative 24,000 sq ft multi-specialty and aesthetics centre in City Centre Mirdif. 

 

Continuing to expand into communities within Dubai, the group plans more than 40 community-focused medical centres by 2025.

 

Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade inaugurated the brand-new centre. 

 

The ceremony was also attended by Dr Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman and Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare; Alisha Moopen, Deputy Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare; Dr Shanila Laiju, Medcare Group CEO; as well as members of the leadership team of the Aster DM Healthcare, Medcare Group, Aster Pharmacy Group and Majid Al Futtaim Group. 

 

Dr Al Zeyoudi toured the centre’s departments and wings and was given an overview of the facility’s specific focus on health and wellness geared towards both the community and international tourists. 

 

The centre houses three distinct departments under one roof: a paediatric unit, a multi-speciality care unit, and a unit dedicated to the new concept of aesthetics, in which a whole wing offers dermatology and wellness services in order to provide a patient-centric, upscale and relaxing environment conducive to healing and wellbeing.

 

Dr Al Zeyoudi said: “It is our responsibility to continue to strive to make UAE the preferred global destination for medical treatment. It is extremely welcome that the Medcare Group is fully aligned with these aspirations and making such an important contribution to the UAE’s healthcare infrastructure. Centres such as this not only provide world-class medical services and facilities to our residents and citizens, but also ensure that the UAE remains a hub for medical tourism.” 

 

With the opening of this premium facility, Medcare now operates four hospitals and 17 medical centres across Dubai. This growth reiterates the group’s commitment to better serving the communities of Dubai by giving them access to high-standard medical services, practices and treatments within an artful architectural healthcare environment that brings positive effects on patient health outcomes. 

 

Dr Moopen said: “Aster DM Healthcare through its brands Medcare and Aster is committed to growing strategically within the UAE to offer world-class facilities, services and treatments to those in need of healthcare assistance and located conveniently within their communities. We continue to work with the UAE healthcare sector to incorporate its goals into our own in order to achieve one common objective: to make the UAE a country that provides one of the best medical services in the world. Moving into the communities of Dubai was a natural expansion for us and we look forward to helping these communities, and future communities, with their health needs at a more personalised level.” 

 

The inauguration ceremony also saw the opening of the latest Aster Pharmacy at City Centre Mirdif. As the Aster Pharmacy Group is ushering in a new era focused on wellness for their customers in the UAE, the pharmacy has been designed to be a one-stop wellness destination and has dedicated areas offering a wide range of Dermo-cosmeceuticals and Nutrition solutions, including alternative medicine. 

 

The concept store also showcases a digital customer experience, bringing forth personalisation and speed in delivering products and services for customers through the 1AsterApp, which is launching soon. 

 

The group is working to further scale up the concept with the addition of 25 to 30 stores in 2022.
