We have the best infrastructure and modern diagnostic tools. We aim to serve the people of the UAE well and play an active role in creating awareness among the public on ways to prevent the advancement of kidney-related diseases."
The opening of the nephrology department will empower us to serve and efficiently cater to the needs of our patients, said Dr. Shajir Gaffar, CEO of VPS Healthcare (Dubai and Northern Emirates).

We have the best team of doctors, nurses, and technicians onboard to run the center. We hope that our new endeavor will serve the purpose and benefit the multitudes of our patients," he added.
The nephrology department at Medeor Hospital will be actively working with government departments, community organizations, and other stakeholders in Dubai and northern emirates to create awareness on ways to prevent kidney ailments. The kidney biopsy program at the center will help in the early diagnosis of any malfunctioning enabling early intervention.
The center was inaugurated by Dr. Marwan Al Mulla - CEO - Health Regulation Sector, Dubai Health Authority, in the presence of Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director of VPS Healthcare.
