DUBAI RAISES THE BAR FOR HEALTH CARE: The Dubai Academic Health Corporation’s sharp focus in anchoring its strategic plan around the ‘Patient First’ ethos is heartening. It demonstrates the authorities’ commitment to reimagine the patient journey across the continuum of care. That SMART measures have been put into place to monitor progress is also to be welcomed as it includes everything from the patient safety index and patient trust to workforce culture and capacity and availability of sub-specialty care. UAE today is a name to reckon with on the global map of health care. [COMMENT BY: Sharmila Dhal, UAE Editor]
