The Health Bank: A tailor-made health management solution for global citizens

Dubai - The increasing need for tailor-made health management and preventative care solutions amongst the UAE’s global citizens has led to the formation of The Health Bank, a global health management company that offers individuals, families and corporates a variety of services to support and manage their health and wellness.

With a global network of more than 25,000 healthcare and wellness providers in over 150 countries, THB is well-placed to advise its members on the best quality medical assistance and referrals wherever they may be. Whether they are home, or traveling for business or leisure, all members have access to a team of multilingual professionals who are experts in coordinating routine and urgent care.

Providing fully independent healthcare assistance and support, The Health Bank is striving to fill the gap that exists between members’ health insurance and their health providers. The key offerings of this tailored membership programme includes an unbiased recommendation of top quality specialists, management of electronic health records, appointments and reminders, and personalized attention to health and wellness needs, including weight loss, fitness, and aesthetics.

After choosing a package, THB members will have access to a professional Care Coordinator who will serve as the sole point of contact when it comes to health and wellness needs. Available 24/7, the Care Coordinator is able to provide unprecedented access to the best medical practices worldwide. THB uses its global nexus of healthcare and wellness providers to advise, recommend and facilitate the patient’s treatment wherever they are in the world.

Once registered, a key feature of THB is the archiving of a member’s past and present medical records, providing a universal electronic health record (EHR), available to the patient 24/7 via a secure care portal and mobile application. Many families, particularly those who have lived in different locations around the world, find it a struggle to retain all of their medical records. With the EHR system, all medical records are collated and digitalized for easy access and convenience.

In cases where the patient requires a second medical opinion, THB will collate all related medical records and diagnotics before sourcing the top center of excellence for their specific case. The team of professionals, which could be in the US, UK, Asia or Europe depending on the area of specialism, will then remotely review the case and provide a detailed report of their recommended diagnosis and treatment options.

Zarmina Jafar, Director, The Health Bank said, “In an environment where many of us are world travellers, it is increasingly important to take control of our own healthcare. We have found that most patients struggle to find an unbiaised, informed opinion on where to receive the best health care or how to get second medical opinions from international specialists. The Health Bank was founded to give these patients the peace of mind to know their medical care is of the utmost priority. While we utilise cutting edge technology to create a digital healthcare platform solely for our members, we also offer the human touch; a single point of contact for everything health and wellness related for them and their family.”

Apart from fighting illness, THB empowers its members to be proactive in attaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle by providing services related to anti-ageing, aesthetics and wellness such as personalised wellness plans, weight loss, DNA testing and dermatology. Through a partnership with aesthetics and anti-ageing advisory Grace Aesthetics, THB can offer consultations and unbiaised information and advice on choosing the right physician, surgeon, aesthetician and treatment provider both locally and internationally.

Jafar adds, “While some aspects of life can’t be controlled, managing health should not be one of them. Our aim is for The Health Bank to provide the perfect balance between health and care and become the trusted source for unbiased, independent, personalized health and wellness information.”
