Department of Health - Abu Dhabi Launches an Updated Version of its Healthcare Capacity Master Plan for Investors

HCMP is available on the DoH website and allows healthcare investors to easily identify services and specialties that Abu Dhabi will require in the upcoming years. This plan offers the latest data on supply and demand and existing gaps in healthcare services across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra. The plan anticipates the future needs of healthcare services and professionals until 2035.

Neil Clark, the Acting Director of Investment and Capacity Management Division, commented: "DoH works towards ensuring the delivery of comprehensive, continuous and timely healthcare services to locals and residents in Abu Dhabi. We continue to strive to improve the quality of healthcare services in Abu Dhabi and build capacity to fulfill the rising healthcare demands. In order to continue to attract investments in our healthcare sector, we have launched an updated HCMP that provides investors with important recommendations based on evidence-based data."

"The Emirate's healthcare sector provides an attractive atmosphere for investments. In fact, 80% of the total healthcare facilities in Abu Dhabi are privately-operated. For this reason, the private sector continues to be an important and strategic partner in the development of Abu Dhabi's healthcare sector".

The plan highlights the medical specialities that the Emirate's healthcare sector will need in the upcoming years including Primary Care, Orthopaedics, ENT, Urology, Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Psychiatry.
