PureHealth, the largest healthcare platform in the Middle East, has collaborated with Fujifilm Global, a leading organization in medical diagnostic, medical Information Technology (IT) and contract development and manufacturing, to leverage the latest cutting-edge technology and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to enhance excellence benchmarks in the healthcare sector in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

The partnership was initiated through a ceremony held at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental during the recent Japan-UAE Business Forum and witnessed by His Highness Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Excellency Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy and His Excellency Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan.

As part of the partnership, PureHealth will be introducing Fujifilm’s advanced Healthcare IT products. The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), one of the largest networks of hospitals and clinics in the UAE, a PureHealth subsidiary, will be the first beneficiary, deploying the state-of-the-art system and products in its facilities.

The integration of AI algorithms will enable the rapid analysis of vast amounts of medical data, with medical practitioners able to focus their expertise on critical cases instead, leading to faster and more accurate diagnoses. Doctors in the UAE will be able to detect abnormalities promptly, provide quantitative measurements, and offer improved patient care.
