The agreement comes close on the heels of a period of collaboration in which teams of Mayo Clinic and SEHA outlined a proposal to activate 24 specialty clinics.

SEHA chairman Salem Rashid Al Noaimi said: “Our pioneering new venture with Mayo Clinic will see us joining forces around a shared set of values, a common approach and a focus on delivering the incomparable level of health care Mayo Clinic is famous for around the world, here in Abu Dhabi.

“Our partnership with Mayo Clinic will also allow the SEHA network to benefit from access to Mayo Clinic’s vast experience, cutting-edge practice and research, and clinical and non-clinical processes and pathways.”

The multispecialty hospital, which covers an area of 300,000m2, began accepting patients earlier this month.
