Abu Dhabi: Mubadala Health partners Amana Healthcare and Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women and Children have opened a paediatric long-term care unit at Danat Al Emarat Hospital in Abu Dhabi.
The long-term care unit provides round-the-clock care in a child-friendly environment for patients with complex medical conditions.
The two Mubadala Health partners joined forces to expand long-term paediatric care within the emirate. This aligns with Mubadala Health’s vision of developing a thriving healthcare sector in Abu Dhabi, enabling the UAE community to receive world-class specialised healthcare locally.
Our objective is to help paediatric patients receive the care they need in a welcoming and child-friendly environment. We have specifically ensured that the hospital environment is tailored for paediatric patients and have introduced several quality-of-life programs. At Amana Healthcare, our goal is to always support patients and equip them to regain their independence. Our partnership with Danat Al Emarat Hospital will look to further advance this objective in the years to come.
Dr. Jason Grey, Acting Executive Director, Amana Healthcare, shared.
This collaborative relationship, coupled with the location of Amana Healthcare within the Danat Al Emarat Hospital, will allow patients to have access to high-quality care and medical case management for neonatal and paediatric patients through bedside services.
The long-term care unit will also provide patients with a comprehensive therapy program involving physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, respiratory therapy, and dietetics, as well as a special education program led by a trained specialist in this field.
Mr. Omar Al Naqbi, Acting Executive Director, Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women and Children, commented that “we are excited to collaborate with another partner within the Mubadala Health network to deliver exceptional long-term care to the paediatric patients at Danat Al Emarat Hospital. Our partnership with Amana Healthcare bridges our specialties with its renowned long-term care unit. Amana Healthcare’s facilities help paediatric patients receive long-term acute services safely and comfortably, tailored to their needs.
The paediatric unit will use an integrated care model that allows for greater coordination and a lower risk of infection for ventilated patients being transferred between the intensive care unit and the long-term ventilation unit.
