About Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City
Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, known as SSMC, is one of the largest hospitals in the UAE. It opened in 2019 in Abu Dhabi as a joint venture between the emirate's public healthcare provider and Mayo Clinic, the renowned US medical centre.
The hospital focuses on serious and complex conditions. It provides specialist care across areas such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, transplant services, critical care, trauma and paediatrics.
The partnership with Mayo Clinic brings practices, protocols and expertise from one of the world's leading hospitals, aiming to give patients access to world-class care without travelling abroad.
Reducing medical travel has been a goal for UAE health authorities. Patients who might previously have sought treatment in Europe, the United States or Asia can now receive advanced care at home.
SSMC is part of Abu Dhabi's healthcare system, which includes public hospitals and private providers regulated by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi.
Large hospitals like SSMC also play a role in medical education and research, training doctors and nurses and taking part in clinical studies.
