Cleveland Clinic Celebrates a Decade of Healthcare in Abu Dhabi

This week, Cleveland Clinic is marking a proud milestone for our mission and legacy of care.

A decade ago this month, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi opened its door to patients, accomplishing something that had never been done before – recreating the best of U.S. healthcare on another continent.

Our partner, the United Arab Emirates, was a country with a vision and need for the quality of care we provide.

Today, the results speak for themselves.

In 2024, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi exceeded 1 million patient encounters in a single year for the first time. It is ranked one of the best, most technologically sophisticated hospitals in the world.

Within a decade, services that were never provided in the country – organ transplantation, contemporary neurological care, and comprehensive cancer care – became available with the highest level of integrity.

In my opinion, there is no comparison in the history of healthcare for what Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has achieved in only 10 years.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has proven – without a shadow of a doubt – that Cleveland Clinic care can change lives anywhere in the world.
