“Our healthcare portfolio includes different stakes in KCH Healthcare LLC, Clemenceau Medical Centre, tie ups with hospital operators such as NMC in Dubai Investments Park and Mirdif Hills. These investments not only achieve key business objectives for Dubai Investments and support the Dubai economy, they also contribute to the wellbeing of the UAE, improve the reputation of Dubai as a hub for world-class medical care and align with the long term plans of the UAE government for sustainability and progress in fields such as health and science.”
