As part of its expansion strategy, Burjeel Holdings plans to develop a new 75-bed LLH Hospital in Jebel Ali, Dubai, offering emergency, occupational, primary and multispecialty care. The platform also intends to open more than 10 additional clinics across the Emirates, targeting communities and major employment hubs.
Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and CEO of Burjeel Holdings, said: “The proven strength of these hospitals underlines the importance of affordable healthcare and its essential role in how we serve communities across the UAE. LLH, Lifecare, and Medeor have built strong relationships with the communities, families, and workforces they serve. Bringing them together under a unified vertical and leadership structure gives us a clearer framework to develop this business and use our resources more effectively. Our focus is on making quality healthcare close to people’s homes and workplaces.”
The unified structure will support coordinated procurement, workforce planning and service development. Primary care centres will connect patients to the Group’s wider network, including tertiary and quaternary facilities such as Burjeel Medical City, when advanced treatment is required.
Dr. Narendra will oversee strategy, operations, clinical performance and further development, with a focus on capacity utilisation, financial performance and expanding affordable services for families, communities and industrial workforces.
