How the Care Network Works
The Mayo Clinic Care Network includes independent healthcare organisations vetted for quality standards. Members gain access to Mayo Clinic’s clinical tools and advisory systems without requiring patients to travel abroad.
Key components include:
. AskMayoExpert. A physician reference platform containing regularly updated treatment guidance.
. eConsults. Direct physician-to-physician consultation on specific cases.
. eBoard conferences. Multidisciplinary discussions for complex cases.
. Healthcare consulting. Advisory support on operational and clinical frameworks.
This model enables American Hospital Dubai physicians to access Mayo Clinic expertise while delivering treatment locally.
Strengthening Subspecialty Care and Diagnostics
The collaboration supports optimisation of subspecialty service lines, ensuring precise diagnostics and treatment pathways, even for less common conditions.
Regular case conferences and morbidity reviews improve clinical performance and accelerate decision-making. Mayo Clinic advisory support also enhances research integration and compliance with international standards.
In addition, Mayo Clinic Laboratories and American Hospital Dubai are working to expand access to advanced laboratory diagnostics across the region.
Academic and Research Expansion
The partnership extends beyond patient care into medical education.
American Hospital Dubai has established the UAE’s first Doctor of Medicine medical school with guidance from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.
The institution will serve as a healthcare simulation centre, supporting curriculum design, faculty recruitment, governance frameworks, and research infrastructure. The goal is to align academic standards with international benchmarks while strengthening local healthcare capacity.
Supporting Dubai’s Healthcare Vision
The American Hospital Dubai Mayo Clinic partnership aligns with Dubai’s ambition to position itself as a global hub for advanced healthcare and medical tourism.
Through clinical collaboration, education initiatives, and joint outreach campaigns, the partnership reinforces Dubai’s long-term healthcare sustainability strategy.
Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, described the 10-year milestone as a reflection of shared values centred on patient-first care, research-driven excellence, and educational advancement.
The decade-long collaboration demonstrates how structured global partnerships can elevate clinical standards, expand medical education, and strengthen regional healthcare systems.
