Al Ain hospital to expand child health care facilities
Array of sub-specialities at Al Ain medical institute will cater to both nationals and expatriates
Al Ain: Al Ain Hospital has announced it will open an array of sub-specialities at its Child Health Institute as part of a comprehensive expansion strategy.
According to George Jepson, CEO of Al Ain Hospital, the expansion was driven by the need to convert the hospital into an entity which provides specialised, dedicated and unique paediatric medical care in the region.
Diversification
"We are all set to diversify and open an array of sub-specialities," he said, adding that the aim is to strengthen the reputation of Al Ain Hospital as a community hospital catering to both nationals and expatriates.
The diversification of the Child Health Institute with special focus on introducing sub-specialities, he said, is also aimed at enhancing paediatric medical care expertise across the region.
He hopes this will enable the institute to be known as a world-class centre of excellence in this realm of medical intervention and advisory services across the GCC.
Under the new reinforcement strategy, the institute will open sections specialising in paediatric neurology, child metabolic diseases, chronic allergies and advanced paediatric surgery as well as a dedicated intensive care and adolescence clinic.
Dr Gerhard Schwab, medical director at the hospital, said Al Ain region needs sub-speciality paediatric health care.
