With world-class healthcare institutions bringing global talent and expertise to serve the evolving needs of the regional population, we are glad to present Medcare Royal Specialty Hospital to the citizens of the world.”
Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, added, “With the evolving demographics in the UAE, there is an increasing demand for specialized and personalized care among the affluent population.

Curating the right environment will go a long way to help patients heal faster and ensure better outcomes in more ways than one.”
