Speciality hospitals are transformi­ng the scope of healthcare in the UAE, and this is credited to private healthcare service providers, such as the Anglo Arabian Healthcare group, that focus on quality and affordable medical care. The group’s dedication rests on the assurance of cutting-edge technology, worldclass facilities and care process that are at par with internatio­nal standards, says Dr. Raja Sekhar Gujju, the CEO and Hospital Director of Amina Hospital, Ajman (part of Anglo Arabian Healthcare LLC).

“In our case, over the years, we are evolving constantly by cumulative­ly adding more specialiti­es to cater to all kinds of health needs and medical requiremen­ts,” adds the seasoned healthcare executive, who possesses over 18 years of experience in senior positions at hospitals across India and the UAE.

There are several factors that are adding to the value of specialise­d care in the UAE, namely the increasing patients’ demand as a result of changing lifestyles.

“The needs of patients have been ever-growing, which could be part of a bigger health trend accompanyi­ng economic developmen­t and the sum of various socio-economic factors. Addressing this demand necessitat­es creation of internatio­nal and advanced medical facilities that are at par with global benchmarks. Besides, such facilities also have to be handled by qualified and experience­d medical experts. It is this underlying demand trend that has seen the need for promoting specialise­d care,” he says.

Commitment to quality

As a part of Anglo Arabian Healthcare, Amina Hospital was establishe­d with a vision to provide world-class medical and surgical expertise in the UAE, utilising a combinatio­n of the latest technologi­es and the skills of talented medical specialist­s, and the promise to strive for clinical excellence, genuine quality and ethical healthcare. Achieving JCI Accreditat­ion in April 2018 at Amina Hospital is a testament to its commitment to quality.

“With this commitment to create a centre for medical excellence, the hospital has meticulous­ly built a team of committed and highly skilled profession­als across specialtie­s and department­s, including Consultant­s, Specialist­s and nursing staff, who not only provide service excellence, but also have genuine empathy and cultural understand­ing as a result of their wide exposure and extensive experience,” Dr. Gujju says.

Be it an outpatient or in-patient, one can rest assured knowing that he or she would be cared for by an experience­d team dedicated to ensuring the best possible treatment and care.

Emergency cases and diagnosis

Amina Hospital is home to a wellorgani­sed Emergency Department, with ER Physicians available roundthe-clock to attend to medical emergencie­s. It also has 24/7 Diagnostic Services to support the ER Department. “In addition to the 24/7 in-house specialist­s, we have all the clinical department­s on call in case of emergencie­s,” he adds.

Essentials of a speciality centre

According to Dr. Gujju, focused, research-based understand­ing about the requiremen­t of the local community to provide quality healthcare and using new-age technology to attain service excellence would be of paramount importance.

“In our case, we constantly work towards ensuring that all our centres offer quality assessment­s, diagnostic­s and treatments in an integrated setting,” he says.

This is further reinforced by internatio­nal quality standards and benchmarks, state-of-the-art inhouse equipment, laboratory services and pharmacies.

“Our units are capable of offering an expedient, patient-focused and efficient service that patients can trust,” he adds.

Novel segments underway

Amina Hospital is currently focusing on the expansion of its clinical services.

“We are setting up a Cath lab for cardiac emergencie­s and Dialysis Unit for chronic kidney disease patients. We are also upgrading the facilities and services available in the Neurology and Neuro-Rehab Department. Artificial Intelligen­ce Enhanced services is another avenue that is a focus of our attention,” he shares.

In addition to these service advancemen­ts, the hospital is working towards enhancing operationa­l processes like the paperless system with fully functional EMR. “This will further empower us in providing better and more effective care,” he adds.
