Medical Treatments Abroad for International Patients

Dubai, UAE

American Hospital Dubai, founded in 1996 by the Mohammed & Obaid Al Mulla Group, was the first hospital in the Middle East to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in May 2000, and has renewed it multiple times since. A roughly 250-bed acute care hospital in Oud Metha with around 280 physicians across more than 30 specialties, it became the first healthcare organisation in the Middle East to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network in June 2016. The hospital's Comprehensive Cancer Center, Heart Center, and Total Joint Replacement Center anchor its clinical reputation, supported by a robotic surgery programme built around a 4th-generation da Vinci system — the first of its kind in Dubai. Its laboratory was also the first private lab in the Middle East to earn College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation, in 2001.

Kolkata, India

AMRI Hospitals — Advanced Medicare & Research Institute — was founded in Kolkata in 1996 by the Emami Group and Shrachi Group in partnership with the Government of West Bengal, making it a pioneer of organised private healthcare in Eastern India. Operating across three Kolkata campuses (Dhakuria flagship, Salt Lake, and Mukundapur), a unit in Bhubaneswar (Odisha), and a health centre in Dhaka dedicated to Bangladeshi patients, the group grew to 1,200 beds, 680 doctors, and 5,000+ healthcare professionals handling 350,000+ patients and 15,000+ surgeries annually across 29+ specialties. In September 2023, Manipal Hospitals acquired an 84% stake for ₹2,400 crores — one of the largest private healthcare acquisitions in Eastern India — and the group was rebranded under the Manipal banner on 15 May 2024. NABH- and NABL-accredited and GreenOT certified, the Kolkata campuses deliver cardiac sciences, oncology, neurosciences, organ transplantation, orthopaedics and spine care, IVF, nephrology, gastroenterology, and trauma care, with dedicated international patient services coordinated through the Manipal Global network.
