UAE's Zulekha Hospital joins Israel-based Health Plus in medical tourism deal

Zulekha Hospital in the UAE and Israel-based Health Plus have signed an agreement to cooperate in the field of medical tourism.

The partnership aims to further strengthen both healthcare systems by sharing medical expertise and best practices.

It will also allow patients from Israel undergoing dialysis to receive treatment while in the UAE for the first time.

Under the programme, they will be able to go to Dubai, once travel restrictions ease, and continue their dialysis - combining their holidays with quality health treatments.

Other services on offer will include health checks, advanced oncology, neurosurgery, neurology, and Telemedicine.

Taher Shams, Managing Director of Zulekha Healthcare Group said, "We consider this to be a great collaborative opportunity between two healthcare entities and regions which will further support the socio-economic progress across borders. We are happy to create this joint progressive opportunity for Israeli and UAE healthcare professionals."

David Berezin, CEO of Health Plus added, "Dubai and Israeli medicine are very well known for their major achievements. When two renowned healthcare service providers become one, then the outcome can only be a commendable one. That is exactly what we aim at."

The worldwide provider Health Plus has been an approved representative of Jerusalem's Hadassah University Hospital, and has authorised the referral of patients from Cyprus, Russia, Greece and other countries.
