ABU DHABI, 10th August, 2022 (WAM) -- Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), the UAE’s largest healthcare network, has seen its extensive telemedicine services become primary communication channels for overseas patients seeking specialised medical care in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi’s robust healthcare system, with its highly trained medical professionals, is fast making it the city of choice for medical tourism. According to the 2020 Medical Tourism Index ranking, Abu Dhabi was ranked the eighth-best global destination for medical tourism.

With around 50,000 virtual consultations in 2021, SEHA’s Telemedicine Virtual Outpatient Clinic represents the network’s commitment to increasing global access to Abu Dhabi’s healthcare system. The network has also launched specialised telemedicine services for psychiatric patients and the SEHA mobile application so patients from around the globe can easily access SEHA’s varied services through several channels.

Recently, doctors from Tawam Hospital completed a minimally invasive spinal surgery on an overseas telemedicine patient. The individual suffered from a severe spinal condition resulting in chronic and debilitating pain for over nine years.
