Emirates Hospitals Association:
1. NAME & LEGAL INCORPORATION - First Proposed Oct 2014
1.1 Two names proposed include Emirates Hospital Association (EHA) and Emirates Private Hospital Association (EPHA). The first is simple and generic allowing for clear marketing messages and a “catch-all” category. As Government-owned hospitals operate under regulatory authorities the need for a representative association does not arise thereby removing the need to specify ‘private’ or ‘independent’
1.2 It is proposed that The EHA will be incorporated as a non-profit organisation under the charter of The Dubai Chamber of Commerce. Our group has consulted with attorneys Al Tamimi & Co. to seek a legal opinion and the best options available.

EHA OBJECTIVES
• The Emirates Hospital Association (EHA) will provide a single forum for the private hospital and
healthcare sector in the UAE, within which issues of common concern can be jointly identified, acted
upon and resolved.
• The EHA will represent the interests of the private healthcare sector and provide a forum to both
exchange information across the sector and as a direct channel to UAE Government and regulatory
bodies on public consultations, national policy/guidelines and related issues of common interest.
• The EHA will represent the private hospital and healthcare sector in coordinating and positively
contributing to the improvement of healthcare services and patient outcomes in the UAE.
• The EHA will rigorously maintain its independence from government institutions or any one particular
private interest group or company.
• EHA activities are aligned to its aim to support its Members in delivering a high performance health
system, which provides patients with easy access to quality services at an affordable price.

Scope of our Mission and Vision
We seek primarily to bring new technologies and products to emerging
markets. Our expertise spans the profit to non-profit sectors as well as the
increasingly important area of public-private partnerships.
We have also advised governments on policy issues related to the broader
provider and innovation ecosystems that define modern healthcare.
Healthcare Value Chain – Long and Complex
Excellence must apply throughout the chain to be valid

‘Innovation’
Public-Private Partnerships and Healthcare
Image here. Always this height, but width can vary
Neither the public nor the
private sectors alone can
deliver healthcare
excellence.
But together there is the
potential for enormous
synergy and progress.
“The Power of Partnership”
Public-Private Partnerships focus on ‘Common Goods’
Such partnerships and often tiered pricing for goods and services distributed through different channels
Public Goods Common Goods Private Goods
UN
WHO
etc.
Private Sector
Big Pharma
Biotech etc
The WHO World Health Report recorded the worst health inequity in human history in 2003.
Baby girls born in Japan and Sierra Leone had a life expectancy that differed by 50 years.
Global ‘neglected disease’ public-private partnerships like MMV have been been successfully narrowing the gap

Singapore and/or Switzerland as a Comparator?
UAE
Goal?
Singapore
• Singapore as a possible comparator?
• An emerging economy like the UAE• Well Documented Health System• Historic UAG Involvement• Excellent example of a Public-Private
Partnership• Excellent Bilateral Relationship
between UAE and Singapore
UAE and Switzerland have comparable
populations while Singapore is smaller
Singapore and Switzerland have comparable GDP
per capita – but trends have been different
.
Singapore and/or Switzerland as a Comparator?
All three show dramatic improvements in life expectancy –
but only Switzerland contributed significantly to the
underlying innovation that enabled this progress
Recommendations: - For Discussion
• Agree that ‘Affordable Excellence’ encompassing the whole healthcare value chain should be the UAE’s goal
• Agree that the Emirates Hospitals Association represents the whole private hospital sector in the follow up to this Forum
• Identify comparable leadership in the private education sector –needed for the innovation component of the value chain
• Identify UAE public sector leadership to support the EHA and the UAG the evolution of the “UAE Healthcare Excellence Roadmap”
• Working with UAG define this general goal into a series of actionable SMART objectives (i.e. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound) using comparator data and experience from Switzerland and Singapore
