Numbers matter, especially because the statistics speak for themselves: 65 hospitals in the UAE, 15 of them federal institutions and over 150 primary health-care centres and clinics, in addition to 11 school health centres, 10 centres for mothers and children and 110 special units for mothers and children in hospitals and primary health-care centres. The government is investing heavily in healthcare.
The year 2017 has proved to be a turning point for the healthcare sector in the UAE as it witnessed the first multiorgan cadaver transplant that conformed to the new cadaver donor regulations of the federal health ministry.
Two cadaver kidney transplants and one full heart transplant in December from a single donor helped save three lives in the UAE at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.
