Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai has won the Eye Hospital of the Year Award during the 9th World Healthcare Tourism Congress, WHTC, 2014, held recently at the Mohammed bin Rashid Academic Medical Centre in Dubai Healthcare City.
The WHTC, in association with the Institute of Healthcare Research at Cambridge Academy for Higher Education, presented the award to Moorfields at a gala ceremony at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai.
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Mariano Gonzalez, Managing Director of Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, said, "I am delighted to receive this award on behalf of the team at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai. The hospital continues to grow its patient base and we now treat thousands of patients from the U.A.E., Middle East and even further afield, every year. I believe we have validated Dubai’s belief that providing world class healthcare in a top quality destination, will attract patients from all over the world. Winning one of the top awards at the WHTC really is a testament to the skills and commitment of the entire Moorfields team in providing the best care and treatment to patients, wherever they are from." Gonzalez added, "Ophthalmology is one of the key clinical areas on which Dubai is focusing its medical tourism efforts, so there is a natural link and Moorfields is committed to supporting efforts to develop medical tourism as a partner to DHCC."
