Spa Resources International (SRI), the Dubai-based specialised spa management and consultancy company, has entered into a new agreement with United Eastern Medical (UEM), one of Abu Dhabi’s leading healthcare development and investment companies.
The joint venture aims to address the acute increase in interest for integrative health, beauty and wellness services in and around the UAE. Both parties will bring their unique strengths and leadership positions in the medical and spa industries to facilitate the creation of a holistic healthcare environment in the region, which integrates spa and wellness services.
Daniella Russell, director of Wafi Health & Leisure Group, the parent company of SRI, said: “UEM has a focused and strong vision for the future of the medical sector in the region, and as a home-grown company Spa Resources International is very happy to be an integral part of that vision. Our extensive experience in the development, management and operation of spa, leisure and wellness facilities in the region will stand us in good stead in our joint venture with UEM, with whom we share common ideals, values and goals as to where we want to take the healthcare industry.””
UEM aims to develop and manage an integrated health delivery system that comprises world-class specialty hospitals and premium healthcare facilities throughout the Middle East.
Mohammed Ali Al Shorafa, managing director of United Eastern Medical commented: “Our partnership with Spa Resources International, forming Spa Resources United Eastern LLC (SRUE), is very exciting for UEM as it perfectly mirrors our strong ambitions and vision to transform the regional healthcare system. The new centres that we will develop together will create an ideal synergy offering a combination of spa treatments alongside unique health and medical programs, and will bridge the large gap between healthcare and wellness.”
Among the upcoming projects in this joint venture is the expansive spa and wellness centre that will be located within UEM’s flagship project, Danat Al Emarat Hospital, a 300-bed women and children’s hospital currently being developed in Abu Dhabi and due to open in 2011. It targets both the UAE and nearby states.
