Major French hospitals to open a regional office in the United Arab Emirates and seek partnership opportunities

Four major not-for-profit French hospitals Curie Institute, Paris Saint-Joseph and Marie-Lannelongue Hospitals, Rothschild Foundation Hospital and the medical services and consulting company C3Medical have announced their collaboration in opening an office in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) from September 2022 in order to better address the needs of the populations of the Middle East countries by developing strong ties with local partners.

Several countries in the region have initiated ambitious strategic health system transformation programs mainly aiming at facilitating access to care, improving the quality and efficiency of services provided and promoting preventive medicine to tackle cancer and lifestyle related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases to ensure a longer, healthier life for their citizens.

Governments are leading important investment and privatization programs with local and international actors. Hence, health authorities work to increase the share of public and private hospitals accredited according to national and international quality standards of medical services and staff and seek solutions in terms of training of healthcare professionals, skills transfer, methodologies, processes and hospital strategic plan definition, that are provided by innovative companies and leading international care providers.

France is one of the major healthcare and life sciences actors in the world, with a strong track- record of bringing innovative health solutions to the market as well as developing leading hospitals with strong expertise and know-how in laboratory and hospital management, research and training. French hospitals have an excellent reputation for its doctors and the care provided.

While a few French hospitals have already developed relationships with local institutions in the Middle East, this innovative collaboration around a regional office aims at increasing the local presence of complementary actors, renowned for their excellence in very demanded fields Curie Institute (oncology), Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital and Marie-Lannelongue (multi-specialty with an expertise in cardiology, vascular, heart and thoracic surgery, minimally-invasive surgery : orthopedics, proctology, cancers, gynecology and obstetrics), Rothschild Foundation Hospital (ophthalmology, neurosurgery, neurology, interventional neuroradiology and ENT) through the support of the international medical services and consulting company C3Medical.

This will allow the four French hospitals to better understand local challenges at stake, facilitate communication and strengthen ties with local key players, with the objective to support the achievement of governments’ ambitious health sector transformation goals.

“The Middle East region is extremely dynamic and committed in terms of improving the care provided to its populations. We believe that by offering innovative solutions, partnerships adapted to the challenges with the most qualified French players, project support and a local presence, we will be able to help realize this vision. Our alliance guarantees key stakeholders of the region to benefit from a short and efficient circuit to some of the best healthcare providers that have built strong relationships and work in a complementary manner, with a dedicated point of contact when it comes to providing second medical opinion or treating complex cases.” Jérôme Soistier – CEO C3Medical
