This robust growth is very positive news for the UAE economy, the health sector, the individual hospitals and supporting institutions. The news will also be warmly applauded by graduates, students and professionals in the health fraternity, since it exponentially multiplies their employment options.

One influential reason for the skyrocketing in healthcare jobs is that the industry is collectively upgrading its facilities and expertise to world-class standards. In fact in some cases such as Saudi German Hospital-Dubai, some standards actually surpass the levels of their European and American counterparts.

The growing demand for medical recruits was illustrated by the participation of Saudi German Hospital-Dubai in the 6th edition of Employers Day. This was held at the Dubai Women’s College, and representatives from the hospital energetically showcased the hospital’s attractions to prospective graduates.
