This comes in line with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi’s (DoH) continuous efforts to further cement the emirate as a healthcare hub and a leader in organ donation and transplantation,
The landmark partnership signifies a pivotal moment in reshaping the future of health in the region, as it opens access to complex medical care and knowledge exchange between the two countries.
As part of the strategic alliance, M42 formally signed its first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Royal Medical Services (RMS) to provide world-class heart and lung transplant surgical procedures for patients in Bahrain.
This partnership, part of the National Program for Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation “Hayat,” reflects Abu Dhabi’s leading capabilities in organ transplantation, supported by advanced infrastructure, knowledgeable healthcare professionals, and world-class healthcare facilities, further cementing Abu Dhabi’s position as a healthcare hub globally.
The MoU was formally signed by Brig. Gen.
