The Future

We plan to develop a dedicated research building designed explicitly for interventional studies and trials. The building will include multiple patient wards and a fully dedicated ward for phase 1 clinical trials. In addition, a “data trials unit” will be designed to utilize technological advancements for research for patient care including machine learning (AI technology), wearable devices (IoT), medical robotics, nanotechnology, and a medical metaverse.

With our collaborations with Khalifa University College of Medicine and Health Sciences and Mayo Clinic, we intend to build and operate the Research Shield of SSMC in Abu Dhabi as the leading Research Center in the region. We aim to develop local talent, provide innovative medical therapies to the people of the UAE (for which they currently have to travel abroad), and establish/ develop cutting-edge medical discoveries and inventions from within the UAE.
