Humaid Mohammed Al Qatami, Director General of Dubai Health Authority, has launched two smart MRI and ultrasound scanning systems, supported by artificial intelligence technology, at Al Zahra Hospital in Dubai, where the first cuts the test time to 50%. Their weight is about 120 kg.
Al-Qatami said that the Authority looks to the private health sector as a strategic partner in the development of the medical care system in Dubai, while working to develop the sector to the value of its role in providing quality health services, in line with the highest standards and meet the growing demand for Such services.
