American Hospital Dubai and Mayo Clinic Strengthen Collaboration to Revolutionize Healthcare and Medical Education
American Hospital Dubai, a prominent member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, has announced an enhanced partnership with the globally renowned Mayo Clinic to transform healthcare delivery, medical education, and research in Dubai and the region. The announcement was made during Arab Health 2025, held from January 27-30 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
This strengthened collaboration aligns with the shared vision of both institutions to elevate patient care, drive innovation, and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global leader in healthcare excellence. Key initiatives include optimizing clinical practices, improving operational efficiencies, and integrating cutting-edge technologies at American Hospital Dubai.
A landmark achievement in this partnership is the establishment of Dubai’s first Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) medical school, designed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science. The medical school will feature a globally benchmarked curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and faculty development programs, aiming to nurture the next generation of healthcare leaders in the region.
The collaboration also focuses on research and innovation, with Mayo Clinic supporting American Hospital Dubai in creating a clinical research infrastructure, streamlining workflows, and developing new treatment protocols that meet international standards. A planned healthcare simulation center will provide advanced medical training, further solidifying Dubai’s status as a hub for healthcare innovation.
Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, stated, "We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Mayo Clinic. This partnership will set new benchmarks in patient care, education, and research, enhancing Dubai’s reputation as a global hub for medical excellence."
Dr. Jorge Pascual, Interim President of Mayo Clinic International, added, "Our collaboration blends Mayo Clinic’s expertise with American Hospital Dubai’s vision, delivering innovative solutions to elevate healthcare standards and foster medical education excellence."
With these advancements, the collaboration not only supports the UAE’s healthcare sustainability goals but also ensures residents can access advanced care locally, reducing the need for overseas medical travel and promoting Dubai as a leading destination for medical tourism.
