A good friend of mine, who went to a Gulf capital for surgery, asked surprisingly upon his return: and why? We have hospitals on a very good level, if not less than an excellent level, and there are doctors known in the field of the operation that you performed, and more importantly, our brothers in that country are referring to the UAE extensively for treatment and operations, so why did you do the opposite ?!
As I was surprised to do, I was more amazed by the reason he traveled to perform the operation in that capital. This friend was advised by many people. Dr. Kennedy is one of the most important, best, and most famous of three international doctors in his field. Patients from all over the world go to him, and he visits from time to time to perform operations In that Gulf capital, so he arranged an appointment with him, and he went to him, so the appointment in the Gulf is much better than the appointment in Canada!
The strange thing is that this doctor is forced, sometimes, to get off "transit" in the UAE while roaming, and he is very impressed with the experience of the Emirates, and he loves specifically the city of Dubai, which prompted our friend to ask him about the reason why Dubai does not take the center of its operations, especially since there are many hospitals qualify for its high level To receive him, the doctor answered: “Whoever told you that I do not want that, I wish with all my heart that I am in Dubai, and that I conduct my operations there. Rather, most of the patients I treat wish for this, but can you believe that the competent authorities refused to give me a license to practice the profession in Dubai ?!
It was shocking information by all standards. The doctor is one of the best and best surgeons, and he performs his operations in Canada, and many other countries of the world, and he visits a Gulf country continuously, and he performs operations for hundreds of patients in it, including dozens of UAE citizens, who follow him, trust him and travel for him, logically. There is no reasonable justification for refusing to give him a license to practice his work here!
So why? The doctor says that he invented a system in Canada, so that patients can lead their normal lives after the operations, and in a way that supports them psychologically, so he took one of the five-star hotels as the headquarters of his hospital, and as soon as he finishes the process the patient goes to his hotel room, and receives follow-up and medical care in a remote hotel atmosphere About the atmosphere of the hospital, and this idea met with approval, approval, and success there, but he did not know that this idea was the reason for his rejection in Dubai, as officials here classified him as a hotel doctor, and could cause problems ... and possibly disasters for patients.
Certainly, we do not underestimate the efforts of stakeholders, and their concern for the safety of patients and members of society in general, and this is a top priority that cannot be tolerated, we appreciate and value that, and certainly their refusal to give this doctor the permission did not go out of the way for this goal, and they have every right to take what they see It is appropriate to protect and ensure the safety of community members, but it was better to verify all other aspects, and to stand on all the details mentioned by the doctor, if it was proven incorrect, then the refusal would be logical, and it was more appropriate to stipulate what they want, and what suits our laws and procedures on the doctor, and obligate him By taking the required standards and specifications e Us, and he would have adhered to it without a doubt, as for the absolute rejection and denying patients to an empowered and internationally classified doctor, this is not the best solution at all!
