What if you or a loved one has a health emergency in the midst of the pandemic? Now you don’t have to delay seeking treatment for fear of being infected as Burjeel Hospital for Advanced Surgery (BHAS) is now certified by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) as a non-Covid hospital and will attend to all patients with standard emergencies, or injuries and orthopaedic issues.

Being an advanced surgical speciality hospital, Burjeel Hospital has taken all mandated precautions and has put all safety measures in place to admit non-Covid patients whose cases are mostly orthopaedic and surgical in nature. Patients can walk into the hospital to avail advanced medical and surgical treatments through orthopaedic and non-orthopaedic specialities and are helped towards making a fast recovery. The hospital is also safe to handle any injuries related to children.

“Children are actually at a very low risk of developing serious symptoms from Covid-19, but we understand parents’ dilemma; concern about coming to the hospital, but also concern about not coming, in case they miss an important condition that needs treatment,” says Dr. Gavin Spence, Consultant Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon. “We have taken steps to make the visit as fun and as low-risk as possible. We keep the toys but disinfect and “quarantine” them between our patients, encourage them to decorate a facemask to take home, and assess them in areas that have been thorough “deep cleaned” like the rest of the hospital. Therefore, it really is as safe as we can make it.”

Burjeel Hospital sticks to its legacy of serving patients without compromising on the quality. Moreover, to do so it has put in place stringent safety guidelines.
