About Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is a multispecialty hospital on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. Opened in 2015, it was developed by Mubadala in partnership with Cleveland Clinic, the US academic medical centre, and brings advanced tertiary and specialist care to the UAE. It is now part of M42, the Abu Dhabi health technology group.
The hospital was created to provide complex medical care locally, reducing the need for UAE patients to travel abroad for advanced treatment. It offers a wide range of specialties organised into institutes, including heart and vascular care, neurology, cancer, digestive diseases, respiratory care, eye care and surgical subspecialties.
Organ transplantation is one of the hospital's notable areas. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has performed complex transplant procedures, including heart, lung, liver and kidney transplants, contributing to the development of transplant medicine in the UAE.
Digital health plays an important role in its services. Patients can book appointments, access medical records and use virtual consultations through digital channels. The hospital has also used technology and data to support clinical care, quality monitoring and research.
The hospital follows the care model of Cleveland Clinic, which emphasises teams of specialists working together around the patient. Physicians are organised by clinical areas rather than traditional departments, aiming to coordinate care more effectively.
Research and education are also part of its mission, with clinical research programmes and training for medical professionals, supporting the development of healthcare expertise in the UAE.
Abu Dhabi has invested significantly in healthcare as part of its economic diversification strategy, aiming to become a centre for medical excellence and medical tourism. Mandatory health insurance for residents supports demand for high-quality care.
Being part of M42 connects the hospital with genomics, AI and other health technology initiatives, supporting the move toward more personalised medicine.
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is not a startup, but it is one of the UAE's leading hospitals and central to Abu Dhabi's healthcare ambitions, which is why Startups UAE includes it.
