The Dubai based hospital will be re-evaluated after the temporary closure to check if the necessary changes noted by the DHA have been implemented
After three months of closure, the re-evaluation will take place to ensure that a quality medical service is provided to all the patients and if the hospital has complied with standards and regulatory health policies.
The DHA stated that its number one priority is ensuring the utmost safety and wellbeing of the patients seeking medical treatments in the UAE
