The new center serves as a qualitative addition to Al Ain’s healthcare ecosystem, bringing a comprehensive suite of sports medicine subspecialties under one roof
Al Ain, July 22, 2026: Burjeel Royal Hospital, Asharej, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, has launched the Burjeel Sports Medicine Center, marking a major step forward in enhancing specialized healthcare services in line with the rapid growth of the Emirate’s sports sector. The opening ceremony was attended by Council representatives, dignitaries, and officials from government entities across Al Ain. The Center delivers an integrated model for injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, with all services adhering to international best practices.
Designed as a one-stop destination for sports healthcare, the Center brings together multidisciplinary expertise under one roof, spanning orthopedics, physiotherapy, advanced rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, injury prevention, and athletic performance optimization. This holistic framework ensures a seamless continuum of care, from accurate initial diagnosis to a safe, effective return to play and daily routine.
The facility caters to a broad spectrum of patients, including elite professional athletes, amateur sports enthusiasts, fitness advocates, pediatric patients, and individuals suffering from musculoskeletal conditions. Powered by a collaborative team of specialists, the Center features cutting-edge medical imaging, such as high-precision MRI, X-ray, and diagnostic ultrasound, alongside state-of-the-art rehabilitation suites and minimally invasive treatment options engineered to accelerate recovery and drive optimal clinical outcomes.
The opening aligns with Burjeel’s strategic vision to scale sports medicine access across Al Ain, with upcoming expansion plans targeting Burjeel Royal Hospital, Town Center, Burjeel Medical Center, Barari Mall, and Burjeel Day Surgery Center, Al Dhahir. By decentralizing these high-tier services, Burjeel aims to bring specialized care closer to the community while reducing the need for patients to travel elsewhere for treatment. Furthermore, the Center will actively foster partnerships with local sports clubs, educational institutions, and corporate entities to promote injury prevention and athletic wellness across the region.
Dr. Aysha Al Mahri, CEO, Al Ain Region, Burjeel Holdings said, “The launch of the Burjeel Sports Medicine Center represents a strategic milestone in our ongoing effort to elevate specialized healthcare standards in Al Ain. Developed in response to the surging demand for sports healthcare, this facility fuses elite multidisciplinary expertise with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Our goal is to provide end-to-end care, from prevention and intervention to recovery, empowering patients and athletes to return to their active lifestyles with maximum confidence and safety.”
Dr. Ahmed Al Marzooqi, Medical Director, Burjeel Al Ain, added, “Our Center is engineered to serve as a flagship hub for sports medicine in Al Ain, offering a continuous, patient-centric treatment journey. We focus on delivering personalized care plans designed to speed up recovery, minimize the risk of re-injury, and enhance physical performance. In tandem with modern clinical care, we are deeply committed to community engagement, partnering with local sports clubs, schools, and organizations to drive awareness and nurture a healthier, more active society.”
