Right Health, the UAE’s largest and fastest-growing value healthcare organization, backed by Foundation Holdings, was named the ‘Emerging Healthcare Brand’ at the UAE-India Economic Forum 2018. Abhishek Sharma, CEO of Foundation Holdings and Karan Yadav, Chief Strategy officer, received the award on behalf of Right Health from H.E. Abdulla Al Saleh, Undersecretary, Foreign Trade & Industry, UAE Ministry of Commerce.
Hosted as part of the forum on the October 24, 2018, at Habtoor Grand Resort Dubai, the awards event honored prominent organizations and business leaders that have transcended boundaries to create business excellence in their respective sectors and helped strengthen the trade and commercial ties between the UAE and India.
The Emerging Healthcare Brand award recognizes Right Health’s sustained efforts at continuous innovation to build a movement providing quality, affordable and accessible healthcare to the working-class population, and thereby, driving excellence in the sector.
Speaking on the occasion, Abhishek Sharma said: “We are honored to win this award, which would not have been possible without the support of our patients, clinical staff and the entire Right Health team. We will be rewarding 25 blue-collared workers who have been our patients with T10 Cricket tickets as a gesture of thanks. Our vision with Right Health is to reimagine the way healthcare is delivered to the working-class population. They are at the heart of everything we do, and our mission is to make their lives healthier.”
He added: “Right Health aims to become a key partner, helping business owners and key stakeholders including insurance companies stay ahead of the curve through offering greater value for the patients and customers and improved health outcomes for the entire population.”
Right Health was established through the acquisition and integration of 31 existing medical and health service providers, that includes facilities under Ruby Clinic and Group Companies (RCGC), Class Medical Centre (CMC) and BioHealth Diagnostic Center (BH). It includes a range of clinics, pharmacies, diagnostic centers and a drug store that cumulatively serve approximately 450,000 patients. In addition, it also conducts 150,000 lab tests annually and has over 200 medical and administrative staff on its rolls.
In line with the vital objective of the National Agenda of the UAE Vision 2021 to establish a world-class healthcare system accessible to all - a sector that is set to surge to more than AED103 billion ($28 billion) by 2021 – representing 60 percent growth over the next five years according to MENA Research Partners (MRP), Right Health aims to become the premier provider of quality and affordable healthcare delivered at the doorstep of the working-class population. The formula of targeted, smaller healthcare centers/clinics in strategic locations will allow Right Health to provide affordable and quality healthcare, accessible to a broader population, including lower-income patients and those living in areas under-served by tertiary hospitals.
A number of high profile dignitaries, government officials and business leaders from both countries were present at the forum, hosted by the Consulate General of India in Dubai and supported by the UAE Ministry of Economy, in strategic partnership with UAE International Investors Council, Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Invest India, Abu Dhabi Global Market and Dubai Economic Council.
