The UAE has achieved global recognition by virtue of the strong partnership and dedication of both the government and private sector towards progress, innovation, and prosperity. Their collaborative efforts have established a path of continuous growth and development, making it a role model for other nations striving towards excellence in healthcare.
One of the UAE’s key pillars of ambition is providing world-class medical care to every individual, regardless of background or circumstance. By investing in advanced medical capabilities and creating an inclusive healthcare system, the country has paved the way for a brighter, healthier future for all its citizens and residents.
The UAE has created an environment that attracts the best and brightest minds in healthcare thanks to visionary leaders. The result is a healthcare landscape that is second to none, where cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions are used to safeguard society’s health span.
Joining the ranks of enablers
Aviv Clinics Dubai joined the ranks of advanced medical capabilities in the UAE in 2021. Its unique, comprehensive treatment programmes offer holistic care for neurological conditions such as declining cognitive functions related to old age, rehabilitation after stroke, traumatic brain injury (post concussion syndrome), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Fibromyalgia, and post-Covid symptoms.
The clinic also offers a dedicated protocol for youth living with various neurological disorders. In addition, Aviv has invested more than 15 years in developing and clinically trialling its unique Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatment protocol, which is the most advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen programme in the world and involves clients breathing pure oxygen in an elevated ambient pressure environment.
Aviv Clinics arrived in the UAE seeking to improve the health communities in the Emirates and across the GCC region, with the vision of bolstering UAE’s position as a healthcare leader and hub for unique medical treatments.
With great power comes the responsibility to act
The healthcare sector holds immense power to shape society and bears a collective responsibility to foster an inclusive community where everyone, regardless of their health challenges, can thrive. For instance, by providing equal healthcare opportunities and promoting inclusivity for young individuals facing neurological challenges, the healthcare sector can create a better future and contribute to their overall prosperity and development.
Furthermore, such actions have the potential to empower these individuals to become drivers of innovation and progress, enabling them to play an active role in shaping the future of our world. The time is now for the healthcare sector to step up and make a meaningful impact on society.
Leading by example
As the newly appointed CEO of Aviv Clinics Dubai, I am honoured to lead a company that is committed to positively impacting the UAE community and stands by the country’s leaders to enable the future of the youth.
And I am proud to introduce our new CSR initiative, Aviv Cares. The initiative seeks to fund assessments and treatments for children with complex neurological conditions like Cerebral Palsy Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, and some cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Under this initiative, Aviv Clinics offers a thorough three-day evaluation to assess a child’s cognitive and physical abilities using a variety of tests, including the most advanced brain imaging tests suited to the child’s needs.
As a father of a non-neurotypical child, I am honoured to bring this campaign to fruition, as the initiative includes two critical phases for holistic care, presently available at the clinic. Firstly, the assessment, which is designed to identify the child’s condition’s root cause. Secondly, to determine the appropriate care plan for the child. This may include our cutting-edge and unique HBOT, neurocognitive training, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and nutrition consultation, as core components.
Aviv Clinics Dubai is also thrilled to have the support of DP World in this vital initiative. By collaborating, we can positively impact the UAE youth and raise awareness of the importance of proper assessment and treatment for several neurological conditions.
As responsible members of the UAE community, we are dedicated to supporting the youth and contributing to the government’s vision of creating a happy and prosperous society. This includes providing advanced medical treatments to more children in the country. Investing in the well-being of the youth is essential to investing in the UAE’s future.
Healthcare as a purveyor of prosperity
Healthcare has always been a fundamental aspect of society, but its importance has been highlighted in recent times due to the global pandemic. The Covid-19 crisis has shown us that our health is not something to be taken for granted and that we must strive to create an inclusive and equitable healthcare system for all.
Initiatives like Aviv Cares play a crucial role in this effort by promoting advancing healthcare opportunities/solutions for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Such initiatives empower individuals facing neurological challenges to living fulfilling and prosperous lives by giving them access to specialised and holistic medical care.
Individuals who are high functioning can contribute to the economy, drive innovation, and make significant social and economic contributions. Therefore, healthcare must be recognised as critical to any country’s development and prosperity.
