DNA Health Corp will open its global flagship integrative medicine and wellness centre on Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island this month, heralding the dawn of a new era of personalised healthcare for the region.
Established with the ethos of transforming the current health paradigm from solely treating illness to an integrative 21st century model of preventive care, the DNA Centre for Integrative Medicine and Wellness will provide the highest level of US healthcare protocols – based on integrative, functional and lifestyle medicine approaches – for the treatment of chronic disease, healthy aging and lifestyle management.
“DNA’s personalised lifestyle medicine programs are based on a holistic approach uniting leading-edge Western medicine advanced diagnostics and clinical therapies, complemented by centuries-old Eastern healing traditions and philosophies,” explains Dr Nasim Ashraf, DNA Health Corp’s chairman and chief executive officer.
“This integrative and functional medicine approach focuses on treating the person as a whole – combining mind, body and spirit – rather than solely treating separate symptoms. Our aim is to empower individuals to take responsibility for managing their own illness, in partnership with their practitioners, who serve as guides to assist them in their journey towards healing.”
DNA’s portfolio of ‘DNA 4 Life’ personalised lifestyle medicine packages are based on genomic and DNA profiles and key laboratory tests, giving a comprehensive assessment of each guest’s current state of health.

The centre offers a four-day ‘DNA 4 Life’ all-inclusive medical package and a three-month ‘DNA 4 Life Healthy Transformations’ package. Post treatment, the centre offers a two-day ‘DNA 4 Life Executive Wellness Screening’ medical program and hospitality package.
