A key member of this community is the Harvard Medical School Dubai Center (HMSDC) for Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, which offers fellowship and observer ship programs. The community also aims to build a world-class research infrastructure. One of the pioneers in this field is the Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical Research (DHFMR) which aims to lead the creation of regionally-relevant basic scientific research.
Healthcare Commercial Services
Complementing the conventional medical services at DHCC, there are a vast array of diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, medical equipment companies, healthcare recruitment firms, healthcare consulting firms and pharmaceutical companies.
Complementary Services
The Medical Community delivers an impressive portfolio of complementary support services. Most notably, DHCC offers a one-stop shop for our customers’ legal requirements such as visas and other government related documentation. For the convenience of our customers and visitors, a wide selection of retail and food and beverage outlets are available throughout the city. A five star hotel dedicated to patients’ families, staff, visiting doctors and students is yet another example of our comprehensive support services.
WELLNESS COMMUNITY
Hospitals
To complement the range of medical services being developed in the Medical Community, a significant portion of the Wellness Community has been allotted to the establishment of world-class hospitals to ensure that DHCC provides a complete integrated continuum of care..
Outpatient Clinics
The Wellness Community also houses a comprehensive array of specialist clinics and day-surgery centers. The clinics represent integration of modern technology within the overall building design, devised to support the needs of specialized healthcare facilities.
Clinical Villas
As an alternative setting to medical office buildings, a cluster of villas is devoted to conventional and alternative medicine outpatient clinics. A number of these villas will be dedicated to day surgery and cosmetic procedure clinics operated by internationally-renowned plastic surgeons. This cluster is beautifully landscaped and is located immediately adjacent to a large medical wellness resort.
Alternative Medicine
With the growing demands for holistic treatment, DHCC’s Wellness Community offers alternative medical care such as acupuncture, chiropractic services, and osteopathy. This option greatly appeals to business executives and medical tourists seeking medical check-ups, alternative treatments, or medically-supervised health programs. The long list of services also includes physiotherapy, regimented diet and exercise, and specialist consultations on regionally-specific ailments.
Multidisciplinary Healthcare Hub
True to DHCC’s identity as a completely integrated healthcare hub, the Wellness Community will house representatives from each healthcare-related service, such as medical equipment companies, insurance firms, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare consultants, and complementary and alternative medicine suppliers.
Spa Resorts
One of the key features of the Wellness Community is the number of luxury spa resorts, two seven-star hotels, villas, marina, and retail which are located alongside the creek. Managed by globally-renowned specialist spa resort operators, these resorts will render every guest a soothing and memorable recovery time.
Hotels
One luxury five-star hotel and one affordable boutique hotel will cater to visiting patients, their families and rotational healthcare providers. The hotels will have medical floors to serve visiting patients who may require more recovery time before traveling safely. The hotels will also serve as ideal venues for healthcare conferences.
Residential
For the long-term accommodation needs of DHCC’s healthcare providers, the Wellness Community offers residential properties for lease and for purchase. As an added convenience, these residential buildings also feature a long list of retail and food and beverage outlets.
