Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS), a part of the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), has announced the expansion of dermatology services across its network of healthcare centers to complement its current range of health services. The AHS centers that provide dermatology services in Abu Dhabi include: Al Shamkha, Baniyas, Al Maqtaa, Al Samha, Khalifa City A, Al Shahama, Madinat Mohammed bin Zayed, Al Khaleej, Al Maqam, Al Muwaiji and Mezyed. Dermatology, or the treatment of skin diseases, covers a range of health concerns from acne to skin cancer. Minor biopsy excisions, cryosurgery, electro cautery surgery and intralesional injection are done in all of AHS's derma clinics. However, excimer laser treatment for vitiligo, phototherapy and laser hair reduction procedure is available only in the AHS-operated Al Maqtaa Healthcare Center. Dr. Omar Al Jaberi, Chief Medical Officer at AHS stated: "Dermatology is an important field of medicine which has a direct bearing upon a person's health, self-image and appearance. The demand for medical as well as aesthetic dermatology is steadily rising in the UAE. The dermatology healthcare services of AHS are aimed at providing Abu Dhabi residents with risk-free treatment." "The decision to expand our dermatology services across AHS network came as part of our conscious efforts to match the socio-economic improvements that we have observed in our population and to provide quality healthcare services accessible to all across the various parts of the emirate." Physicians at AHS healthcare centers provide consultation, treatment and referral advice to patients from Sunday to Thursday from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
