'Anti-ageing' clinic opens in Dubai as part of UAE-Israel collaboration

A medical facility focused on optimising brain and body performance has opened in Dubai.

Aviv Clinics was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group.

The facility is a significant example of the successful collaboration between the UAE and Israel, made possible by the Abraham Accords, signed last year.

Developed by world-renowned physician Professor Shai Efrati, with his research team from the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Shamir Medical Center in Israel and the Aviv team, the Aviv Medical Programme is a transformative treatment scientifically proven to reverse the effects of physical and cognitive decline caused by the ageing process.

It combines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with the latest neuroscience, physiology research and advanced diagnostic imaging technology.

"Innovation has enabled Dubai to become a key location for global trade across all sectors and attract some of the most innovative and smart solutions in the world," said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World Group and Chairman of the Dubai International Chamber of Commerce, who highlighted the UAE’s 2021 vision to become a global hub for cutting-edge innovation.

Israeli Consul General in Dubai, Ilan Stzulman Starosta, said: "Aviv Clinics Dubai is an excellent demonstration of mutual success and the increasingly important role that innovation and advancement in healthcare plays. We look forward to many more future collaborations in all sectors with the UAE."
