Increasing access to preventative care is important to improve wellbeing and lower healthcare expenditure in the long term, says Dr Raja Al Gurg, vice-chairperson and executive director of Dubai Healthcare City Authority.The WorldCare Wellness Village will be anchored by a 100,000 sq ft Wellness Centre that will focus on prevention and management of diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other physical conditions.The Centre will provide diagnosis and treatment plans, offering comprehensive two-to-six week medical programmes built around patient education and lifestyle change. More than 100 healthcare and allied professionals are expected to work at the Center.
