As the UAE celebrates Emirati Doctor’s Day, doctors in the private sector point to the strong demand for Emirati talent in the medical profession. Experts emphasize the need for local representation in healthcare and ensuring that Emiratis are well positioned in shaping the country’s medical landscape.
With the healthcare sector in the UAE growing extremely fast, Emirati doctors increasingly turn towards private sector opportunities, delivering local understanding with global expertise to medical practice. Several of those involved think private hospitals and clinics allow them state-of-the-art research, specialty training, and executive opportunities which boost the industry at large.
Physicians also emphasize their dedication to the well-being of the community, highlighting continuous learning and innovative thinking to combat changing healthcare demands. Government funding and support mechanisms also motivate young Emirati medical school graduates to pursue various careers, such as entrepreneurship in health.
While the nation moves to build a world-class healthcare system, Emirati physicians continue to take center stage, with public and private sectors availing themselves of their know-how, hard work, and cultural understanding.
