Exceptional Customer Service Assistance to International Patients

Winning the “The Best Hospital of 2014” in the World Health Tourism Congress has made Eng. Sobhi Batterjee, President & CEO SGH Group feel honored that he is part of Saudi German Hospital. “Our hospital is one of the best in the MENA region because our primordial focus is all about partnering with the patient in his medical care. Of course that also includes his family. We do our best to identify and satisfy the needs and preferences of the patients here in our country and now we would also like to share our philosophy (patient-centered care) to our international patients especially from the Gulf region,” Eng. Batterjee said.

The hospital’s strategy to partner with their patients and families to satisfy and identify patient needs at the same time engaging them in managing their diseases as active participants has helped in providing high-quality medical services especially for international patients.

Their location in Dubai has also made Saudi German Hospital a popular destination for many patients around the world because they are among the world’s best that can provide healthcare for complex medical diseases with the latest medical technology.
