Recent bilateral agreements have strengthened the very strong India-UAE bond. Bilateral trade rose to $85 billion in 2022-23, making the UAE India’s third-largest trading partner and the second-largest export destination.
Health care is a pivotal area for collaboration. The two-way traffic of medical tourists will help optimise the use of health care facilities and pool talent for better delivery. As a UAE company listed in India, Aster DM Healthcare has witnessed and facilitated this development very closely. With our strong presence across five states in India through 19 hospitals, 13 clinics, 226 pharmacies, 251 labs and patient experience centres, Aster is one of the top integrated health care providers in the country.
In addition to delivering exceptional services with world-class technology, there is also a concerted effort at fostering innovation and research, providing medical education and training, and laying the groundwork for future health care advancements in the UAE.
