Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holding, today announced it will establish an Dhs3.68bn Dubai Wellness Resort in Phase-II of Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), a member of Tatweer.

Tatweer’s new initiative adds its investments in DHCC to a total of Dhs12.5bn, underpinning its profound support of delivering quality healthcare services, while driving the growth of life-improving industries across the region. DHCC has so far attracted Dhs15bn of additional investments from its partners, bringing the overall investments in DHCC to Dhs27.5bn.

Situated alongside the Dubai Creek, within DHCC’s Wellness Cluster, the resort will serve as a premier location for preventative and integrative medicine, and for promoting health-enhancing lifestyles in the region.

The Dubai Wellness Resort will include a rejuvenation centre for cosmetic services; healing and health-centre for integrated medical services; active-lifestyle centre as sports medicine facility, and healthy-living residences for eco-friendly living. It will also encompass a healthy-lifestyle retail district in the town centre and 7-star luxury hotels.

Saeed Al-Muntafiq, Executive Chairman of Tatweer, said:

‘The new wellness facility underpins our relentless endeavour to promote Dubai as the hub for healthcare excellence. Its integrative medicine approach will solidify DHCC’s position as the leading destination for comprehensive health services through its fusion of allopathic, complementary, and alternative medicine using an evidence-based approach.’

The resort will bring together under one roof advanced curative approaches in integrative medicine from the West, East and the Arab world. Set amidst a sustainable, carbon-neutral environment, it will distinguish itself through the application of innovative techniques in preventative medicine, provision of timely and holistic patient management programs, and ongoing follow-up treatment.

Al-Muntafiq added: ‘Regarded as the world’s most integrated healthcare free zone, patients seeking DHCC’s world-class treatment and medical procedures will now have the privileged option of selecting from a range of curative therapies. The Dubai Wellness Resort will offer a continuum of care, facilitating patients’ referral to and from key components within DHCC, such as the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Academic Medical Center and other medical establishments.’

As an integral element of DHCC, which priorities the provision of quality healthcare, the Dubai Wellness Resort will provide an additional incentive for boosting wellness tourism in the region.

Through the integration of Phase-I that will be the center for cutting edge diagnosis and conventional treatment modalities, and Phase-II that focuses on wellness therapies, DHCC aims to offer holistic healthcare through disease prevention and management, health psychology, and other life-enhancing services.
