American Hospital Dubai announces collaboration with ADI and GE HealthCare to enable highest quality care at new executive clinic
American Hospital Dubai has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GE HealthCare, and its partner Abu Dhabi International Medical Services (ADI), which will see GE HealthCare's most advance, AI-enabled diagnostic imaging equipment installed at the healthcare provider's executive clinic in Dubai.
Sherif Beshara, group CEO of American Hospital Dubai and Tamer Akl, managing director of Abu Dhabi International Medical Services LLC, signed the agreement on the sidelines of Arab Health 2025. The MoU represents a collaboration that leverages ADI's experience in delivering tailored healthcare solutions and seamlessly integrating innovative technologies into clinical environments, enabling healthcare providers deliver better patient outcomes.
This latest collaboration marks another groundbreaking milestone for American Hospital Dubai. In November 2024, the hospital's Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery (COERS) became the first private healthcare facility in the UAE to receive accreditation from the U.S.-based Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). Earlier in the year, American Hospital also launched its first medical tourism office in Africa, an initiative aimed at enhancing access to world-class healthcare facilities in the UAE.
Beshara added: "We are excited to collaborate with GE Healthcare to introduce three of the most innovative imaging systems to the region. These advanced imaging systems will boost our diagnostics capabilities, which are the core of positive care outcomes. American Hospital has always endeavored to play a pioneering role in healthcare by continuously raising the bar in its clinical excellence, and these advanced systems will further consolidate our contributions to delivering the highest-quality patient care.'
Tamer Akl said: "We are proud to partner with American Hospital Dubai to introduce these transformative imaging systems from GE HealthCare. At ADI, we are committed to delivering tailored solutions that enable healthcare providers to achieve superior clinical outcomes and improve operational efficiency. This collaboration is a testament to our shared vision of advancing healthcare in the region."
'American Hospital Dubai has built its impeccable reputation by redefining the patient experience and healthcare delivery in Dubai and beyond. We are proud of our collaboration with American Hospital and pleased to support them in their pursuit of delivering the highest quality, patient-centric, personalised care,' added Kostas Deligiannis, zone president, EAGM (Eurasian and African Growth Markets) at GE HealthCare.
The technologies include GE HealthCare's Signa™ Hero 3T MRI, Revolution Apex CT, and the Definium™ Tempo digital X-ray system. The Signa™ Hero 3T MRI is the latest addition to GE Healthcare's 3T magnetic resonance imaging scanner portfolio. Its deep-learning reconstruction algorithm, the Air Recon DL, delivers exceptionally uniform pin-sharp images, helping clinicians boost productivity and accuracy and saving time. The Signa's™ 70-cm bore offers more room and comfort to patients, reducing the time spent on the scanning bed, and the system's AIR™ coils enable more extensive coverage for whole-body workflows, minimising the need for adjustments and repeated scans. The SIGNA™ Hero 3T MRI technology also supports sustainability by conserving energy and reducing scan times by up to 50 per cent.
Similarly, the Revolution™ Apex Elite, an ultra-premium CT (Computed Tomography) scanner and the Definium™ Tempo digital X-ray system offer advanced image precision, boosting clinical accuracy and diagnosis.
American Hospital Dubai meets its patient-first commitment by investing in the best talent and advanced technology, seamlessly integrating them to deliver the highest-quality treatment and care. It also focuses on enhancing operational efficiencies to benefit patients and clinicians alike, saving time, cost and strengthening provider-patient trust.

CNTXT AI and Actualize partner to launch Dialect-Aware Arabic AI Voice Agent, targeting GCC's $2.2bln Conversational AI Market
Dubai, UAE – CNTXT AI, a Data and AI enabler driving AI readiness in the region, has partnered with Actualize, a leader in real-time voice automation, to launch a next-generation Arabic AI voice agent that understands and responds to regional dialects in real time, enhancing customer engagement across key service touchpoints. The collaboration addresses persistent challenges in Arabic voice technology — from underrepresentation of regional dialects to the need for privacy-compliant, locally hosted deployments. With the GCC's digital economy accelerating, voice automation is emerging as a critical layer in customer operations. According to IMARC, the GCC conversational AI market is expected to grow from $325 million in 2024 to over $2.1 billion by 2033, expanding at an annual rate of 23.6%, driven by rising demand for personalized, on-demand voice services. This partnership responds directly to that demand — offering a ready-to-deploy, Arabic-native voice agent that meets regional enterprise needs from day one. The AI voice agent combines Munsit, CNTXT AI's proprietary Arabic speech-to-text model, with Actualize's voice automation platform to deliver accurate voice interaction. The Arabic AI voice agent is now available for public trial with no sign-up or downloads required. Built for High-Impact Use Cases The Arabic voice agent is tailored to high-frequency, high-value business scenarios where (timely, context-aware voice communication enhances efficiency and customer satisfaction.) such as: Booking Confirmation – Automatically follows up with customers to confirm appointments, reducing no-shows and improving operational efficiency Receptionist Automation – Answers and routes incoming calls in the appropriate dialect, enhancing caller experience with culturally aware interaction Sales Agent Support – Engages leads through outbound voice calls, capturing interest, qualifying intent, and escalating hot leads to human agents Order & Payment Follow-Up – Calls customers to verify order details, confirm deliveries, or issue payment reminders, improving conversion rates and cash collection Government Services – Enables voice-enabled digital kiosks and e-service platforms with dialect recognition "Voice AI built for our region's linguistic diversity is no longer a future concept — it's a business necessity," said Mohammad Abu Sheikh, CEO of CNTXT AI. "By combining Munsit's dialectal intelligence with Actualize's automation infrastructure, we're making it possible for organizations to serve Arabic-speaking customers with clarity, confidence, and care." A Regionally Tuned Solution for Arabic Speech Traditional speech technologies often fail to capture the depth and diversity of Arabic speech. Munsit, the speech-to-text model powering the voice agent, was developed to address this directly. The model has been independently benchmarked on six public datasets, outperforming industry leaders like OpenAI's Whisper and Meta's SeamlessM4T in Arabic speech recognition accuracy. The integrated voice agent supports real-time transcription, and localized pronunciation handling across dialects — while respecting regional data sovereignty and compliance requirements. "Arabic deserves tech that speaks its language literally and culturally." said Muhammed Shabreen, CEO at Actualize. "This integration gives enterprises across MENA the voice tools they need to automate customer-facing operations while respecting language and cultural nuance." ABOUT Actualize Actualize is a leading AI Agentic platform enabling enterprises with voice, chat, and workflow automation.

Abu Dhabi's Khazna to build Blackwell-ready data halls for NVIDIA across MEA
Following in the footsteps of the announcement last month during President Donald Trump's official visit that a mega 5 GW UAE-US AI campus will be built in the UAE, Khazna Data Centres (Khazna) said on Wednesday that it is collaborating with NVIDIA to build AI factories in the MEA region. NVIDIA has certified the design of Khazna's next-generation facilities to support the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Khazna's ongoing and upcoming infrastructure developments will feature NVIDIA-ready blueprints as standard, ensuring full compatibility with the latest GPU-accelerated workloads. The Abu Dhabi-based Khazna, majority-owned by G42 with MGX and Silver Lake as new minority shareholders, is a global leader in hyperscale digital infrastructure. Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centres, commented: 'The world is entering a new era of AI-driven innovation, and the UAE is uniquely positioned to lead. Our work with NVIDIA represents a bold step forward in delivering high-performance, future-ready infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. It reinforces our support for the UAE's ambitions to become a global AI leader.' Khazna will design the majority of its future data halls with capacities of up to 50 MW, developing individual AI clusters of up to 250 MW. With many of these data halls situated in the planned UAE-US AI campus, this will place the UAE among the world's most advanced AI infrastructure hubs. Khazna is also expanding rapidly across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, with plans to scale up to 1 GW of capacity in countries such as France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, and Kenya.
