With operations spanning across eight specialized facilities in the UAE, we aim for a more conscious and efficient way of caring, where the patients and the community are seen as a whole, and the associated climate change challenges are kept in mind as part of our vision when providing unmatched, high-quality integrated continuum-of-care services to the community.
“These distinguished awards affirm the milestones we continue to reach with the work we are doing in our Go Green initiative. Our aim is to reduce Amana Healthcare’s carbon footprint by 15 percent within the next two years to enhance the residents’ and community’s well-being and become a regional leader in the promotion of environmental sustainability initiatives.”
