Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Abu Dhabi, the first international location of the U.S. top-ranked eye hospital, has officially commenced operations. Following last month’s announcement by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) on the establishment of the centre, the facility is now fully operational, marking a significant milestone in reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global healthcare destination and expanding access to world-class ophthalmic care in the region.
To mark the commencement of operations, Dr Noura Khamis Al Ghaithi, undersecretary of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, was joined by DoH executive directors, as well as the CEOs of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute from the United States and Abu Dhabi, for a tour of the facility. The visit showcased the centre’s specialised diagnostic suites, surgical capabilities, and patient-centred workflows, reflecting cross-site coordination and the institute’s commitment to delivering world-class ophthalmic care in the UAE.
