The dedicated team of Universal<br />

for all patients<br />
Cardiac Disease, Trauma<br />

leading causes of death in<br />
the UAE says Dr.<br />
Shabbeer Nellikode, DM<br />
(Neurology), DCN, MD,<br />
Managing Director,<br />
Universal Hospitals in<br />
conversation with<br />
MediWorld ME.<br />
Universal Hospital has traversed a long way from<br />
starting 2013 to one of the most reputed Multi-<br />
Specialty Medical Centre in the region can you<br />
throw some light on thisillustrious journey?<br />
Dr. Shabbeer Nellikode after finishing his DM<br />
neurology in India was fortunate to train in UK's<br />
largest Neurology Hospital in England after which<br />
he started Universal Hospital in 2013.This flagship<br />
17 storey tower hospital has now 35 stories of pure<br />
healthcare. With 6 State of the art operating<br />
theaters, A full floor of advanced Radio diagnostic<br />
Equipment including a 1.5 Tesla MRI, A 126 Slice<br />
CT Scanner, Digital Mammogram, Dexa Machine,<br />
an advanced Clinical and Microbiology Lab, we run<br />
70 outpatient clinics seeing an average of 2000<br />
patients a day .The 20 Bed ICU, 14 bed NICU and 10<br />
bed PICU further improve our reach on seeing<br />
complicated and seriously ill patients.<br />
Our core strength has been recruiting physicians<br />
with good clinical skills and ability to work harder<br />
than the average lot. They are dedicated towards<br />
their patients and our hospital alike. This creates a<br />
lot of synergies, cross references and hence very<br />
few missed diagnosis and slipped treatments.<br />
