Dubai, UAE: Following the news in October that majority shareholder Mediclinic International had acquired all remaining interests in EHL Management Services, the company’s new brand was unveiled today by H.H Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, and Dr. Edwin Hertzog, Chairman of Mediclinic International, in a ceremony at Mediclinic City Hospital.

– Emirates Diagnostic Clinic (closed) becomes Mediclinic Beach Road (opening)

Mediclinic International is one of the 10 largest listed private hospital groups in the world with 52 healthcare facilities in Southern Africa, 14 in Switzerland and 10 in the UAE. That such a well-respected name in the global healthcare industry has invested so heavily in the region is great news for UAE residents who demand an international standard of healthcare on their doorstep. In addition, patients of Mediclinic Middle East also have access to the huge bank of knowledge and expertise in our sister platforms in Switzerland and Southern Africa.
