In its ongoing effort to increase its
medical knowledge and build medicine-based relationships with other
countries, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) recently hosted a
delegation from Lebanon led by the country’s deputy prime minister
and minister of health.
During their visit, Ghassan Hasbani and the delegation
were shown a multitude of Dubai projects, from the Salama electronic
medical record system and Saada Health Insurance project to the Ishad
Mandatory Health Insurance Scheme initiative.
Along with
their host, Humaid Al Qatami, chairman of the board and director
general of DHA, the Lebanese group also toured Rashid Hospital’s
Emergency and Trauma Center. The center is a state-of-the-art
facility featuring innovative technology, such as a smart robot
pharmacy that stores up to 35,000 medicines and can fill
approximately 12 prescriptions per minute.
Al Qatami told the delegation
that the DHA considers inter-country relationships vitally important
and key to growing medical knowledge in the region.
