About Abbott UAE
Abbott is a US healthcare company that works across diagnostics, medical devices, nutrition and branded generic medicines. It operates in the UAE, serving hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies and consumers.
Diabetes care is one of its best-known areas. Abbott's FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring system lets people with diabetes check their glucose levels with a small sensor worn on the arm, instead of frequent finger-prick tests. This is highly relevant in the UAE, where diabetes rates are high.
Nutrition products include infant formula, such as Similac, and adult nutrition, such as Ensure, sold through pharmacies and supermarkets.
In diagnostics, Abbott supplies laboratory analysers, rapid tests and point-of-care testing used in hospitals and clinics.
Its medical devices business also includes cardiovascular products, such as stents and heart devices, used by cardiologists.
Global healthcare companies like Abbott work with UAE health authorities on product registration and with hospitals and doctors on training and education.
Abbott is a US company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE operations among the country's healthcare companies.
