Cairo, Egypt/Abu Dhabi, UAE: Burjeel Holdings and Response Plus Holding (RPM) with support from Egypt’s Cleopatra Hospitals Group are collaborating to offer emergency and complex medical support to severely injured children transferred from Gaza. Entities are in talks with relevant authorities and the operations will commence upon obtaining approvals. Efforts are also underway by RPM to establish a field hospital, with up to 60 beds, at the Rafah border crossing to offer onsite emergency care, damage control procedures, and definitive treatments for pediatric patients.
Burjeel Holdings and RPM will facilitate the transportation of the children requiring secondary and tertiary care to hospitals in Cairo and Abu Dhabi, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care. Cairo will receive patients with advanced medical needs, while Abu Dhabi’s Burjeel Medical City, a leading private quaternary care hospital, will admit those requiring high-end care for complex conditions. The hospital, under Burjeel Holdings, boasts over 400 beds. Furthermore, counseling services will be offered to support the mental health of children and their families during this challenging time.
Nations’ Leading Hospitals
Medical experts have convened a specialized joint action committee to spearhead and fast-track the project. Burjeel Holdings, one of the largest healthcare providers in the MENA region, and RPM, the UAE’s largest onsite healthcare and emergency medical services provider, have successfully collaborated with various governments to execute life-saving evacuation and medical missions in Yemen, Turkey, Syria, and provide emergency support to victims of crises and calamities.
Egypt’s leading private healthcare provider, Cleopatra Hospital’s pediatric department, offers immediate and advanced care to children in Greater Cairo. Meanwhile, Burjeel Medical City, equipped with pediatric subspecialties, can address severe injuries and support long-term recovery and rehabilitation.
