Jordanian business executive, Moain Albatta, became the first surgical patient at the general surgery department after undergoing an advanced minimally surgical procedure. He spent less than one day in the hospital following the successful procedure. Albatta had a critical and urgent need for undertaking such surgical procedure and decided to do it in CSH in Dubai, rather than travel to his native Jordan or another European country, on the basis of the local availability of advance diagnostic and surgical equipments handled by professional consultants . "Traveling to Europe was an option but I chose the Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai. It is great for Dubai to have this level of expertise available locally" said Mr. Moain Albatta .
