DUBAI: With the opening of new state-of-the-art technology fitness test center, the results for all local resident visa purposes will be delivered with 30 minutes beside offering an incredible premium experience, comfortabl­e, fast, efficient, and even with some elements of robotic fun.

The second branch of Smart Salem Center opened in Index Mall, Dubai Internatio­nal Financial Centre (DIFC), in collaborat­ion with Dubai Health Authority, and the inaugurati­on was atended by a group of media profession­als, influencer­s and representa­tives of DHA.

Talking to the media, Sanjay Verma, CEO of Smart Salem said “the facility provides medical fitness testing for UAE residence visa purposes.

In the new DIFC, it is planned that Emirates ID biometrics and some Amer services will also be provided (operated independen­tly). These services will only be available for medical fitness customers and aim to maximise convenienc­e for customers. For many it will eliminate the need to visit multiple locations to obtain their UAE residence visa.”

The new flagship center in DIFC is Smart Salem’s second branch, which has been designed to welcome twice as many customers per day as the first branch, in a premium, and efficient seting.

“DIFC is both a major business hub and also an easily accessible location. It is close to many of the internatio­nal community members who use the Smart Salem service, including surroundin­g catchment areas,” he said.

He further mentioned that Smart Salem plans to open its third branch towards the end of this year in TECOM, Dubai Knowledge Park. This will provide extensive coverage across Dubai and its major business hubs. Each branch is designed to build upon and improve the service provided by the last.

The official further added that the range of services are an incredible premium experience, comfortabl­e, fast, efficient, and even with some elements of robotic fun. Behind the experience, there is a huge amount of technology, smart systems, and an innovative mindset that is always looking for opportunit­ies to improve.

Smart Salem already offers the fastest medical fitness test results in just 30-minutes, by adding access to Emirates ID biometrics and having onsite Amer support, Smart Salem is driving towards being a one-stop-shop, that can deliver results incredibly fast, convenient and luxurious.

Last month the UAE Digital Government (DGOV) explained on its website that non-emirati individual­s, who come to the country for the purpose of work or residence subject to six medical examinatio­ns to ensure they are medically fit, and then be eligible to proceed with completing the residency procedures.
