First stem cell and regenerative medicine centre in Dubai

Regenerative medicine services at Emirates Hospital get DHA approval

Anew stem cell and regenerative medical centre opens in Dubai at the Emirates Hospital, Jumeirah.

The hospital is the first in the emirate to receive approval from the Dubai Health Authority and will be the first, through its partnership with ReGen Medical Management Dubai, to offer a range of speciality regenerative services in the UAE region, according to a statement issued by the hospital yesterday.

The launch ceremony was attended by some prominent guests including Faris Khalaf Al Mazroui, chairman of the General Authority of Ports, Borders & Free Zone Security; Rashid Khalaf Al Habtoor, CEO and president of Al Habtoor Trading Enterprises LLC; Michael Davis, COO of NMC Healthcare; and Clancey Po, NMC’s director of Corporate Operations Strategy.

“We are pleased to partner with Dr Steven Victor and ReGen Medical. This new facility will provide innovative technologies to address a multitude of conditions,” said Davis.

Stromal vascular fraction cellular (SVFC) therapy, better known as stem cell therapy, is a rapidly expanding set of innovative medical technologies that restores cellular function by enabling the body to repair, replace and regenerate damaged, ageing or diseased cells, tissues and organs.

The minimally invasive, proprietary procedure, which has been proven to be safe, utilises a patient’s own stem-cellrich adipose or fat tissue to significantly boost success rates for patient outcomes in a wide variety of conditions including pain management, neurologic, orthopaedic and cardiovascular. In addition, there is a vast population interested in stem cell cosmetic procedures, as well as generalised anti-ageing rejuvenation.
