The UAE is solidifying its reputation for healthcare excellence by upgrading world-class technology in its health system, according to the Saudi German Hospital-Dubai. "The sophisticated new equipment provides faster, smarter and safer treatments, leading to shorter waiting times and reduced recovery periods after treatment," Dr. Maha Aledan, CEO of Saudi German Hospital-Dubai said in a press release "The UAE's medical technology is meant to help our experts, not replace them. Patients can rest assured that they are in the safe hands of some of the world's foremost specialists. This reassurance is vital, because we know from numerous placebo experiments that patients can recover better when they are psychologically confident in our capabilities," . "The UAE in general, and Dubai in particular, are enjoying a renaissance in popularity when it comes to 21st century medical facilities," she added. "We have seen how in Western countries like the US, healthcare has become the "hot button" topic that everyone is talking about, so an emerging trend is that we will increasingly be acknowledged as equal to - if not better than - other developed countries," she further said.
