Commenting on the launch, HE Humaid Al Qutami, Chairman of the Board and Director General of the Dubai Health Authority said: “It gives us great pleasure to see large market players like Al-Futtaim investing in the private health sector of Dubai and UAE and becoming significant investors in this vital economic sector. This is in line with the Dubai strategic plan and the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in making the health sector in the UAE one of the best in the world.”
