Following an agreement reached between the Dubai-based Al Tadawi Healthcare Group and Sheba Medical Center as part of the Israel and UAE medical collaboration, doctors from Sheba will fly to Dubai for face-to-face diagnostic consultations with an initial 350 diabetes patients in the UAE military, police, and firefighting services, then follow-up with remote monitoring.
Separately, Sheba will be sending physicians to train personnel at Medcare Women & Children Hospital in Dubai, in various fields including fetal medicine.
According to the Director of the International Division & Resource Development at Sheba Medical Center, Yoel Har-Even, Sheba “is moving quickly to establish a permanent presence in the UAE and to expand its offerings … The next steps are very, very close.”
