Dubai Healthcare City, a member of TECOM Investments, today announced the launch of Royal Ayurveda Clinic, the first in the region to provide a full range of Ayurvedic medical services.

Dr. Ayesha Abdullah, Managing Director, Sciences Cluster and Executive Director for DHCC, TECOM Investments Business Parks, opened the clinic in the presence of His Excellency Wasantha Senanayake, Consul-General of Sri Lanka in Dubai, and Hiroki Matsumoto, Managing Director, Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Dubai and MENA.

Royal Ayurveda is dedicated to providing high quality patient care with an unrelenting attention to clinical excellence and patient safety in disease management, positive health promotion, as well as relaxation and vitalizing therapy. Patients will have access to full-fledged and systematic Ayurvedic consultations, body constitution (dosha) determination, pancha karma or other disease-specific treatments with herbal medicines, oil massage treatments, cleansing and detoxifying therapies, as well as nutritional and lifestyle counselling.

The 5,000-year-old Ayurveda or ‘Science of Life’ aims at treating the sick as well as the healthy. It cures the disease and also rejuvenates and tones the body by strengthening the immune system.

Dr Ayesha Abdullah said: “We welcome Royal Ayurveda, the first of its kind in the region, to Dubai Healthcare City. Royal Ayurveda joins a strong list of complementary and alternative medicine providers (CAM) at DHCC.

“Dubai Healthcare City is pleased to be a pioneer in further developing its base of integrated medicine services as a response to global trends that reflects the growing popularity of alternative medicine and traditional practices.”

Royal Ayurveda adopts the Rasayana Treatment (Ayurvedic anti-aging) approach to enhance the human body’s healing power and immunity. The unique and powerful treatment in Ayurveda is particularly known for the better management of contemporary disease conditions.

Masao Tsuji, Managing Director of Royal Ayurveda Anti-Ageing Clinic, said: “Ayurveda is widely accepted as a tested and proven healthcare practice across the world and is now making strong inroads into the Middle East region. Dubai Healthcare City offers us the perfect platform to reach out to a wider clientele, and helps position us in the premier league of Ayurveda providers in the region.”

Royal Ayurveda’s concept and structure is developed from the collaboration of well established and highly experienced institutions from Sri Lanka, Japan and the UK. The Sri Lankan counterpart provides the authentic and traditional Ayurvedic practices, therapies and herbal medicinal prescriptions that have been used over more than 5,000 years and enriched by the Indian and Sri Lankan culture and heritage. The Japanese counterpart is a pharmaceutical company that brings with it over 100 years experience in manufacturing high quality herbal medicines. The UK counterpart contributes to the renowned academic and research input for developing high professional standards.

Dr. Palitha Serasinghe, Consultant Ayurvedic Medical Practitioner, Director and Clinic Manager, said: “Ayurveda integrates the elements of nature in its treatment, thus ensuring mind-body harmony. In today’s stressed and fast-paced life, our therapies for rejuvenation, wellness and anti-ageing will add to personal efficiency, overall good health and well-being. Royal Ayurveda offers effective anti-aging treatment to slow down the process of wear and tear and degeneration.

“Our patients can look forward to receiving premier treatment from our highly qualified team of practitioners.”

Dubai Healthcare City provides CAM treatments in 12 areas: Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani Medicine, Osteopathy, Therapeutic Massage, Naturopathy, Guided Imagery, Thai Chi, Pilates, Chiropractic, and Yoga. Patients can have the confidence that these practices are regulated by a strict governance structure and DHCC is the first healthcare institution outside the USA to implement CAM codes using ABC Coding Solutions.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a diverse group of medical and healthcare therapies and systems that may be separate from or integrated with conventional medical therapies. A common factor shared with all CAM therapies is a holistic and individualistic approach to health and healing, and an appreciation of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of the human being.
