Reem Hospital has been honoured with the prestigious Damj Award, securing first place in the Best physical and digital accessibility (private sector) category under the accessibility pillar of the Abu Dhabi Excellence Award for People of Determination Inclusion.
The Damj Award is one of the UAE’s most respected initiatives dedicated to advancing inclusion and recognising organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to creating accessible environments and empowering people of determination. Reem Hospital’s recognition reflects its success in delivering seamless and equitable access to healthcare through thoughtfully designed physical infrastructure and digital services that remove barriers and enhance the patient experience.
The award represents a significant milestone for Reem Hospital, which has established itself as one of the UAE’s leading healthcare providers since opening on Abu Dhabi’s Reem Island in 2020. Serving more than 850,000 patients annually through a team of over 800 healthcare professionals, including 120 doctors across 42 specialties, the hospital is recognised for its patient-centred approach and commitment to delivering world-class healthcare for all members of the community.
Winning the award is particularly noteworthy given the strong competition from some of the UAE’s largest organisations and institutions. The achievement reflects Reem Hospital’s continued investment in accessibility and inclusive design, ensuring that patients of all abilities can access facilities and information with independence and ease.
The award also reflects the dedication of Reem Hospital’s multidisciplinary teams, whose efforts have helped create a healthcare environment that prioritises accessibility, equality and exceptional patient outcomes.
The recognition comes as Reem Hospital enters a new phase of growth following its strategic partnership with Arada, which includes plans to invest AED2 billion in expanding healthcare services across the UAE. As the hospital continues to grow its footprint and capabilities, it remains committed to challenging industry standards and advancing a vision of healthcare that is accessible and inclusive.
