Delivering world-class medical services to the highest global standards, the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi has inaugurated the first international facility of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute outside the United States, as part of a strategic partnership announced by the Government of Abu Dhabi with the Institute. Officially opened last November in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, the 70,000-square-foot facility has begun this week to provide advanced diagnostic and surgical services to patients, marking the Institute’s first international branch.
This milestone will enable the delivery of global-standard ophthalmic care within Abu Dhabi, while strengthening research, education, and innovation in the field. The collaboration reflects Abu Dhabi’s ongoing commitment to building a world-class healthcare ecosystem that attracts leading medical institutions across specialties, thereby offering the highest levels of care, clinical expertise, and education.
