The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an, in partnership with PureHealth and its subsidiary SEHA, have opened SEHA Abu Dhabi Dialysis Centre, which comes in partnership with Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Bahar Company as a community contribution.
The centre provides vital care for Abu Dhabi residents living with kidney failure, ensuring greater access to essential care and improving health outcomes across the community.
The Authority of Social Contribution - Ma'an will allocate community contributions towards this centre as part of its efforts to support social initiatives aimed at addressing pressing social priorities in Abu Dhabi. This step is part of the authority’s recently launched From The Community To The Community initiative, and in line with the aspirations of the UAE’s Year of Community.
Run by SEHA’s expert healthcare teams, the centre provides free dialysis care for those living with kidney failure, ensuring essential care is available to all of those who need it.
His Excellency Abdullah Humaid Al Ameri, Director General, the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an, said: "We are thankful to all contributors for their invaluable efforts and support in the opening of the SEHA Abu Dhabi Dialysis Centre, which is crucial for the survival of renal patients. The centre comes as part of our From the Community to the Community initiative in which we support collective community effort, emphasising on the power of a unified community in achieving long-term social impact. This centre aligns with the authority’s commitment to enhancing access to essential healthcare, ultimately improving the wellbeing of the community members in Abu Dhabi.”
The centre has already fostered community engagement and participation through initiatives such as the one from the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), bringing together renowned artists, including; Ghaiath Al Rouba, Nadeem Ka, Charlie VillaGracia, and Christian Ray. Each artist contributed 40 hours of their time to create vibrant murals, enriching the healing experience for patients.
Saeed Jaber Al Kuwaiti, Group CEO of SEHA, said: “SEHA is committed to delivering world-class care and ensuring that essential healthcare services are accessible to those in need, in line with the Year of Community. As part of PureHealth, we play a key role in enabling this centre, providing the facility and expertise to support our community. This initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration with the Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an and PureHealth, driving meaningful impact and improving lives.”
Located at Zayed The First Street, the centre will initially accommodate 112 patients undergoing dialysis three times a week. SEHA plans to expand the facility to serve an additional 56 patients and offer peritoneal dialysis in the future.
The centre is staffed by SEHA Kidney Care professionals and equipped with advanced hemodiafiltration machines integrated with electronic medical records, enabling real-time monitoring and data analytics to enhance patient care.
