RIYADH, Saudi Arabia,
May 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center (CMRC), a top
post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care facility in the UAE,
has admitted 15 patients to its newly opened medical facility in
Saudi Arabia. CMRC's new 60-bed
clinic, located between Dhahran and Alkhobar, aims to help patients
requiring post-acute care and rehabilitation services to make large
improvements in their quality of life through multidisciplinary
rehabilitative therapies including psychiatry, physiotherapy,
occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and
multi-sensory room sessions. The majority share of CMRC is owned by
TVM Capital Health Care, a pioneering company in the field of the
private equity investments in the specialized health care
sector.
The facility is staffed by multiple clinical experts including
GPs, internal medicine consultants, pediatricians, ICU
intensivists, rehabilitation consultants, psychologists and
therapists, and will service patients across the eastern region of
Saudi Arabia.
The facility follows the same clinical procedures and protocols
successfully implemented in facilities in the UAE, similarly
benefiting from the center's international partnership with the
Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, a teaching affiliate of
Harvard Medical School, and
accreditations from Joint Commission International, CARF and
Planetree.
Commenting on this inauguration, CMRC Group CEO Dr. Howard S. Podolsky said: "We expand into
countries where there is notable demand for post-acute care and
rehabilitation services. Like many countries around the world,
Saudi Arabia is experiencing a
rise in the incidence of non-communicable diseases, birth defects,
and life-threatening injuries. Our new facility brings our
world-class medical treatment, care, and rehabilitation therapies
to the Kingdom through a truly patient-centric approach. We
look forward to helping families in the region improve their
quality of life and using our international expertise and
specialized workforce to support the government of Saudi Arabia's focus on health care
development, as part of Saudi Vision 2030."
On his part, Dr. Helmut Schuehsler, CEO of TVM Capital
Healthcare and board member of CMRC, said: "We believe that private
equity investment should be a force for good, and that by working
in health care, we have a real opportunity to make a difference to
patients' lives. Therefore, we conceptualized and invested in CMRC
in the UAE to cater to those in need of post-acute care and an
elevated level of rehabilitation. CMRC grew to be the leading
post-acute care and rehabilitation provider in the UAE. We are very
happy to bring the offer to the people of Saudi Arabia now."
The new facility is located on Ash Shifa Street, Southern
Dhahran Province, P. O. Box 34454. Appointments may be made by
