Allied health professionals are health professionals that work parallel to the medical, dental or nursing professions.

They are University Qualified Practitioners with specialised expertise in preventing, diagnosing and treating a range of conditions and illnesses. Allied health practitioners often work within a multidisciplinary health team to provide specialised support for different patient needs.

Allied health in the Middle East is currently a developing market, with a large gap for academically-driven, specialist providers.

As one of the world’s highest growth healthcare markets, we believe there is a real opportunity to establish ourselves as thought leaders early in its development.

Following from this, there is a demonstrable lack of opportunity for education in allied health professions outside the traditional medical environment.

This being said, a growing demand for proactive health services support outside of the reactive medical services environment will present a growing need for specialist allied health practitioners in the coming years.

We believe a support infrastructure for this growing demand will likely be received well by the UAE’s leadership, keeping consistent with their agile adaptation of efficiencies in their market.
