NMC to set up chain of women’s-only hospitals in UAE

The first women’s only hospital in the UAE, the Brightpoint Royal Women’s Hospital, has opened in Abu Dhabi.

While there are separate women sections in many hospitals, this deluxe 100-bed healthcare facility is the first women’s-only hospital in the UAE,  started by NMC Healthcare, a leading private healthcare provider in the GCC.

NMC claims it will now start a chain of women’s-only hospitals in all seven emirates of the UAE.

Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Dr B R Shetty, Chairman NMC Group and CEO and Founder of NMC Healthcare said: “We will be setting up similar women’s only hospitals in other emirates of the UAE.

“The Brightpoint Royal Women’s Hospital will only allow patients and a majority of the doctors are female.”

The Brightpoint Royal allows husbands of patients to be with them during admission for delivery and for some hospital jobs, males are employed.
