NMC Healthcare group has acquired Orthoplus Bone and Joint Center in Al Ain as it expands its services for patients across the Emirates. Established in 2017, Orthoplus is a well-known, JCI ‘Gold Seal of Approval’-accredited multispecialty clinic providing Orthopaedics, Physiotherapy, Urology, Dental, Neurosurgery, Family Medicine, and General Medicine. It is located near to NMC Specialty Hospital Al Ain, offering services to the residents of the densely populated Central District of Al Ain.
The acquisition builds upon NMC’s strategy to expand its portfolio and develop its core multi-specialty healthcare services in the UAE, including the enhancement of existing facilities and improvements to the patient experience to drive growth. To combine the synergies and value of the two brands, Orthoplus will be renamed to NMC Orthoplus Bone and Joint Center.
In recent years, Orthoplus has clinically collaborated with NMC Specialty Hospital Al Ain to provide a seamless continuum of care for patients who required surgical and inpatient care. Future plans will see Orthoplus expand beyond an orthopaedic centre and add more primary care specialties, therapeutic modalities, and diagnostic capabilities. NMC will also bring in additional orthopaedic surgeons and General Practitioners (GPs) to boost the team.

We are delighted to partner with Dr Sathyadasan who has built a highly reputable, gold-standard practice committed to providing safe and effective patient care.
