Clinics will open on Saturdays at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC), Al Dhafra Hospitals, Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), and a number of public Seha clinics operated by its Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS) wing.

Patients survey

“At Seha, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers and incorporating their feedback into our processes and services. Based on recent patient experience survey results, most patients delay health care visits during the week as a result of long working hours. The Saturday clinics will now allow patients the flexibility to visit their preferred health care facility during the weekend, in line with our commitment to ensure streamlined access to world-class health care,” said Dr Marwan Al Kaabi, Seha acting group chief operations officer, SEHA.

In addition to the Saturday clinics, Al Dhafra Hospitals also announced the opening of evening clinics to meet the needs of patients and allow them the option to visit a health care facility at a time of their convenience, post working hours.

Patients are encouraged to book an appointment through the Seha call center by calling 80050, through the SEHA app, or by messaging 02 4102200 on the Seha WhatsApp for Business channel.

Seha is the UAE’s largest health care provider, and it operates public health facilities in Abu Dhabi emirate.
