Al Noor hospitals in Abu Dhabi, founded in 1985 , is beyond health care because more than that it provides healthy living. Al Noor hospitals got success in placing itself in one of the greatest and leading private hospitals in Abu Dhabi. In April 2000 Al Noor was bestowed the prestigious ISO 2002 Certificate, the first private hospital in Abu Dhabi to achieve this award. They have won International Award for the best performance , Sheikh Khalifa Excellence awards in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Abu Dhabi healthcare firm Al Noor Hospitals will focus on growing its business in its domestic market this year, its chief strategy officer said on Monday, after reporting a slight increase in 2013 net profit.
In its first full-year financial results since going public, the oil-rich emirate’s largest private healthcare provider reported a net profit of $61.7 million for 2013 compared with $60.5 million in 2012, according to a statement.
Revenue for the group, which operates three hospitals and 12 clinics in the United Arab Emirates, rose 12.5 percent year-on-year to $365 million in 2013.
The results were broadly in line with expectations, although the number of revenue-generating physicians added was slightly below forecasts, Jefferies said in a note.
Al Noor has proposed a dividend of 9 pence per share for 2013, the statement added.
Sami Alom, chief strategy officer at Al Noor, said on a media call that Al Noor was focused on growing its business in the UAE in 2014 and was looking at opportunities across the Gulf Arab state.
The group planned to open two new centers in Abu Dhabi in the first quarter, one of which had already started operations, he said. It also completed the purchase of a cancer center in Abu Dhabi for $21.8 million in February.
Al Noor was looking to expand its presence in Dubai, having entered the market through an acquisition in the fourth quarter of last year, following the planned introduction of universal health insurance in the emirate.
Alom said that they are hoping for a stronger presence in Dubai by year end. In 2014 they will be focusing on the UEA as they see so much potential here.
Al Noor raised $342 million from a London listing in June last year and, since then, its shares have risen more than 50 percent from its initial offer price.
So 2014 and coming years looks great Al Noor groups and for UAE economy. Al Noor groups as mentioned above will soon target other countries as well. Clearly they are on the top and why not ? the one who provides better and health life should deserve to be on the top.
