Sharjah, 25th September 2016 – A signing ceremony took place today between HE Abdulla Ali Al Mahyan, Chairman of University Hospital Sharjah (UHS), and HE Abdullah Sultan Bin Khadim, Executive Director and Board Member of Sharjah Charity International, for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at UHS’ premises in Sharjah.
The MOU outlines specially designed medical services at subsidised pricing to the patients sponsored by Sharjah Charity International. The agreement envisages providing multi-specialty healthcare services that are required to be rendered at UHS, and the Sharjah Charity would be the nodal agency to extend such specialised services to needy patients, as evaluated by them. The MOU will be initially valid for a year from the date of signing and subsequently renewable upon mutual understanding between both parties.
Selected medical services will be discounted for those who are referred to UHS by Sharjah Charity International. UHS provides a wide range of specialised and quality medical care, from outpatient consultations and minor surgeries to long-term treatment plans in their Emergency (NICU, ICU), Oncology, Surgical and Obstetrics departments.
Speaking on the occasion, HE Al Mahyan, Chairman of UHS said: “This is a significant relationship for UHS, as we are reaching out to meet the vision of the Hospital in providing quality health care. The collaboration paves the way for the provision of dialysis, intensive-care and other specialised treatments at a very affordable cost. It also further extends coverage to a larger community to ensure that UHS is acknowledged as a leading Health Care Institution in Sharjah, the region, and eventually, the world.”
Likewise, HE Abdullah Sultan Bin Khadim, Executive Director and Board Member of Sharjah Charity International, expressed his gratitude: “We are honoured to be a part of this MOU and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with UHS. We are certain that the members, employees and other beneficiaries of our charity institution will benefit greatly from this agreement, especially those patients who are unable to pay for treatment”.
University Hospital Sharjah is a tertiary care multispecialty hospital located in the University City area of Sharjah and is gaining momentum in its medical excellence.
