Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) today announced the launch of a co-sponsored Professional Diploma in Clinical Leadership and Innovation in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), a higher education academic and research institution in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).

Programmes like the Diploma reiterates our standing on the importance of providing a platform for the members of our Community to continue to grow beyond their immediate fields, securing our commitment to quality in healthcare,” said Dr. Ramadan AlBlooshi, Chief Regulatory Office, DHCA.
