As the Chief Executive Officer of Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), I am honoured to lead one of the UAE’s largest and most comprehensive medical facilities. Established in 2019 as part of the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, SSMC was envisioned to elevate healthcare services in the Emirate and position Abu Dhabi as a global hub for health.

Our mission is fuelled by a commitment to providing transformational healthcare solutions that foster profound trust and loyalty across the region. We embrace a philosophy centred on ethical practices, compassionate care, collaborative teamwork, and an unwavering drive for innovation and excellence. Our mission is reinforced in 2024 with our integration into PureHealth’s network, enabling us to leverage shared resources, expertise and a continuous improvement mindset.

Delivering exceptional patient care and maintaining the highest standards of quality service are our utmost priorities. We cultivate an environment where cutting-edge advancements and personalised attention enable us to deliver excellence across all medical specialities and services. In collaboration with PureHealth, we remain focused on exceeding international benchmarks while being responsive to the evolving needs of our community.

The remarkable achievements, including around 600,000 patient interactions, over 445,000 outpatient visits, 129,000 emergency cases, and 27,000 inpatient admissions, are a testament to our unwavering dedication. This is made possible by our world-class facilities, state-of-the-art technology, and a team of nearly 500 physicians across 46 service lines, supported by 1,500 skilled nurses.

On another front, at SSMC, we are dedicated to nurturing local talent, actively contributing to the sustainable growth of the UAE’s healthcare sector. We recognise the vital importance of investing in homegrown expertise to ensure the long-term success and self-sufficiency of our nation’s healthcare infrastructure.

Looking ahead, our leadership remains focused on fostering a capable workforce, implementing cutting-edge technologies, optimising processes and providing exceptional service to patients. We are committed to delivering transformational healthcare solutions that elevate the standard of care in the UAE and beyond.
