Gargash Hospital, the UAE’s first female-owned, multi-specialty, tertiary care hospital with primary focus on women and childcare has around 50 percent of the hospital’s workforce made up of women, with 80 percent holding key leadership roles.
“The healthcare system is changing. There is a broader push to boost female representation in healthcare management roles. At Gargash Hospital we believe in the power of women, and can’t wait around for the industry to catch up with this trend,” said Ghada Sawalmah, CEO of Gargash Hospital,
Gargash Hospital was launched at a time when most businesses were heading to a closure during the start of the pandemic. However, relying on its extensive medical experience and poles of excellence in the fields of IVF, Gynecology, Obstetrics and General Health, the hospital has not only been able to survive its first year, but also ensured that patients were offered the best treatment.
“We had plans to start the hospital in 2020, and when COVID hit, we didn’t want to succumb to it. We believed in our competencies and infrastructure and were confident that the move to launch would be in our best interest,” added Ms. Sawalmah.
Gargash Hospital is a 50-bed facility, this is inclusive of pre/post op beds, 38 in patient rooms, ICU & NICU. They focus on mother and childcare, as well as other general departments such as ENT, endocrinology, general surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, dental, dietician, family medicine, urology, psychology and radiology. It also has an IVF unit which is the only fully fledged IVF unit within a hospital in the UAE.
In Dubai there has been a massive boom in healthcare providers, be it smaller polyclinics to larger international entities with partnerships here in the UAE. Due to the massive number of healthcare providers, the support that the private sector was able to provide the government and society in controlling and managing COVID cases was substantial. Also, the government sector helped support the private sector with different consumables, equipment and manpower. This partnership between the private and government sectors is what helped and helps with the success of the UAE as a healthcare hub.
Gargash Hospital, focuses on holistic healing, embracing every breadth of human life — mind, body, and soul. They are the first hospital to have a fully equipped Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) facility with modern amenities, advanced technology, and excellent health care professionals to promote a safe environment and comfortable experience.
“With the departments that we already have I see us delving deeper into the subspecialities. As a healthcare provider you must always thrive to provide the highest care possible. Every specialty has subspecialties, and we want Gargash Hospital to excel at that. In addition, one of our future plans is to definitely contribute in developing centers of excellence, and research and development in different fields especially Assisted Reproductive Technology,” concluded Ms. Sawalmah
