The Imperial College London Diabetes Centre

The Imperial College London Diabetes Centre is a new facility in Abu Dhabi specializing in Diabetes Treatment, Research, Training and Public Health.In the 4th Quarter of 2004, Mubadala Development Company (www.mubadala.ae) signed a framework agreement with the UK’s Imperial College London (www.imperial.ac.uk) for mutual cooperation in the fields of education, healthcare, research & development and industrial development. The first initiative to come out of this partnership is the establishment of the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre in Abu Dhabi. This state-of-the-art specialized Centre was opened in mid August 2006 next to the city’s Zayed Military Hospital. The treatment at the Centre allows the highest level of specialized patient care from first diagnosis to the management of all the complications associated with diabetes. This is achieved by in-house comprehensive diagnostic facilities including digital retinal photography, retinal laser machines, and the latest in cardiac echocardiographic imaging and stress testing to detect the earliest signs of heart disease. Research conducted at the Centre will encompass epidemiological, basic, clinical and genetic research focusing on diabetes in the UAE. One of the Centre’s leading priorities will be to provide continuing education for health professionals and the general public. Imperial College London’s history and expertise in the study of diabetes brings one of the leading medical academic institutions in the world to Abu Dhabi as a core working partner. Our mission: To understand, tackle and prevent diabetes. A solution must be found firstly to understand why the problem of diabetes exists within the UAE, secondly to tackle the existing problem in terms of world-leading treatment to prevent and manage complications, and thirdly to prevent diabetes from developing in the first place in individuals who are at high risk. Clearly the solution cannot be provided by one small clinic, a group of community practices, or the endocrine department of a particular hospital – the numbers of patients are simply too great. Our vision: To be first choice for providing quality diabetes services in the region. Our vision, utilizing on-site staff and expertise of Imperial College London, is to create a Centre of Excellence for diabetes with a multi-disciplinary approach covering all aspects of diabetes and its complications. The Centre will liaise closely with the various UAE health bodies, government and private hospitals and primary care services within the UAE to facilitate a concentrated effort in the fight against diabetes. The Imperial College London Diabetes Centre in Abu Dhabi will have significantly more physicians than any diabetes unit currently in the UAE and will initiate a robust diabetes Registry for the patients which can interface with national healthcare centres. Unique to the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre will be a teaching and training program for local and regional doctors to update them on all new developments in diabetes management at frequent intervals. Finally, a crucial function of the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre will be world-class research into why diabetes occurs at such high levels in the country. Clearly the more we understand why, the more we can instigate preventative and predictive measures.
