UAE—Emirates Specialty Hospital has opened a dedicated chemotherapy unit at its Emirates Oncology Centre in Dubai Healthcare City to expand access to specialised cancer treatment and provide patients with coordinated medical support.

Expanding specialised oncology services
The Emirates Oncology Centre operates under the supervision of Professor Dr Marwan Ghosn, Consultant Medical Oncologist, and Dr Mohamed Elbassyouny Alawy, Specialist in Medical Oncology.
The clinical team develops treatment plans based on each patient’s diagnosis, overall health and individual needs.
Chemotherapy often requires repeated hospital visits, regular assessments and monitoring for side effects.
A dedicated unit can support continuity of care by providing a specialised setting where medical teams assess patients’ treatment responses and manage complications as they arise.
Patients may experience fatigue, nausea, appetite changes and other side effects during chemotherapy.
Ongoing clinical assessment helps healthcare professionals determine the appropriate supportive care and address treatment-related concerns.
The centre’s approach also emphasises communication between clinicians, patients and their families.
Discussions about treatment options, potential side effects and expected outcomes can help patients make informed decisions in consultation with their medical teams.
Focus on personalised cancer care
The new unit forms part of Emirates Specialty Hospital’s efforts to expand its specialised clinical services within Dubai Healthcare City.
Its development reflects the role of dedicated oncology facilities in supporting treatment delivery and coordinating care for patients who require ongoing medical supervision.
Cancer treatment increasingly involves multidisciplinary teams that consider the cancer type and stage, the patient’s overall health, and individual treatment goals.
Although chemotherapy remains an important option for many cancers, clinicians may combine it with surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted treatments, depending on the diagnosis and available evidence.
For hospitals, expanding oncology capacity requires more than providing treatment space.
Safe chemotherapy delivery also depends on appropriate clinical protocols, trained personnel, monitoring systems and access to supportive services.
Emirates Specialty Hospital said the new unit reflects its investment in specialised medical services, with an emphasis on clinical safety, coordinated care and the patient experience.
The facility adds to the hospital’s oncology capabilities and provides a dedicated setting for patients receiving chemotherapy in Dubai Healthcare City.
