Rediscover wellness

Facilities across the Uae focus on renewed sense of well-being

Health is an aspect that sees top priority in modern life, especially in an era when residents are more exposed to a high intensity lifestyle — i.e. a life centred on technology, sedentary work environment, lack of physical activities, readily available fast food, etc.

Keeping up with the digital age, healthcare has transitioned to counteract issues related to our health-conscious world. Hospitals and clinics in the UAE feature sophisticated equipment, stateof-the-art facilities and globally accredited professionals that ensure the best of care and quick recovery.

According to a study by MENA Research Partners, the UAE healthcare sector is paving way to an anticipated growth of 60 per cent, i.e., rise to Dh103 million by 2021, with segments such as day surgery, cosmetic surgeries, digitisation as well as medical tourism among contributing factors leading to the country’s strengthened sector.

As society adopts a tech-savvy attitude, medical devices are no longer limited to hospitals and clinics. Instead they are available at the fingertips of consumers, who look forward to monitoring their health from the comfort of their homes.

To further help patients take control of health, related manufacturers and distributors have also designed mobile applications that not only track and record data, but also link the information to medical specialists for advice and quick action in times of need.

Fitness centres and gyms too are encouraging residents to adopt an active routine for a renewed sense of well-being.

The UAE is no short of organic grocers and restaurants that offer fresh, healthy ingredients and meals within desired calorie counts and nutrition values, without compromising on quality and taste. Adding convenience to life, a number of organisations offer a subscription service that delivers quality ingredients right to your doorstep.

Residents in the UAE have a disposable income and are keen to pamper themselves. Wellness and beauty centres focus on rediscovering youthful energy and reconnect with oneself in a hectic metropolitan world.

Whether daily responsibilities involve running a household or keeping up with pressure in an office environment, one should consider spending some time to take care of their own health.
