World-class Healthcare: Visiting Aster DM Healthcare in Dubai
Our greatly anticipated visit to Aster DM’s headquarters and healthcare facilities finally came to fruition on January 8, 2022, with the culmination of months of careful planning—-and didn’t disappoint.
From our first steps onto our Emirates Airlines flight to the final good-byes at the JFK Airport in New York, we had enjoyed an action-packed week crammed with intellectual, visual, and gastronomical experiences to last into the next decade.
Joined by Mike Ferguson, President of SIIA and Rajesh Rao, President of Indus Health, Laura and I followed an action-packed schedule designed by David Boucher to provide us with an immersion into Aster’s culture and delivery system that kept us on the go, opening our eyes to a world-class healthcare delivery system providing care of the growing populations of India and the GCC.
Based in Dubai with 27 hospitals, 117 clinics and 225 pharmacies and vision centers, Aster DM Healthcare, under the leadership of its chairman, Dr. Azad Moopen, has carved a place as a leader in worldwide healthcare delivery.
Dinner conversations with Chairman Dr. Moopen allowed us to experience his warmth and openness in striving to make the best better. Deputy Managing Director, Alisha Moopen, characterized her father as, “inquisitive,” accurately defining his quest for knowledge and finding ways to improve on a successful delivery system.
Our visits to their acute care hospitals demonstrated the ability to provide the highest quality and most complex care to a broad-based patient population. Visiting the Aster clinics allowed to meet their competent staff and see the clinics in action as patients streamed in and checked out smiling. Most striking was the gleaming appearance of all facilities visited. And it wasn’t done just for the purposes of our visit. Having several clinics in the same vicinity, we accidentally visited the wrong clinic listed on our schedule and received the same greeting and impromptu tour after our reason for being there was sorted out.
After meeting the Aster staff at all levels and having the most senior leaders, Ms. Alisha Moopen, GFO Sreenath Reddy and Dr. Malathi Asrhanapalai reinforcing their commitment to providing the utmost care for international patients with quality outcomes as the goal, learning about Dr. Moopen’s bountiful generosity and Aster’s award-winning volunteer program from Mr. T.J. Wilson, we left Dubai, a city of wonderment, knowing that Aster DM Healthcare is a world-class healthcare company that measures up to the finest in the world.
