Dubai is a city with an exceptional healthcare system and to get maximum benefits from it for healthcare seekers, the German Integrative Medical Center (GIMC), is collaborating with the Saudi German Hospital UAE to launch a new clinic. This was stated by Prof Dr John Ionescu, Founder and CEO of German Integrative Medical Center while talking to Gulf Today in Dubai. 'We treat causes instead of symptoms, resulting in long-term relief and a return to a normal life,' said Prof Ionescu during the opening ceremony. 'Dubai is an operative city with a good healthcare system, and by having our clinic here, it will be an innovative contribution to that system.' This collaboration brings decades of German medical expertise to Dubai, combining advanced diagnostics, personalised therapies, and holistic care, all under one roof. With more than 30 years of research and clinical innovation, Dr Ionescu's approach to medicine emphasised immune system health, detoxification, environmental triggers, and personalised treatment plans. 'Patients suffering from complex chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, allergies, chronic fatigue, skin diseases, and even cancer now have access to an internationally acclaimed model of care, right in the heart of Dubai,' he said. Prof Ionescu is widely recognised as a global authority in integrative medicine. He is the Founder and Scientific Director of the renowned Spezialklinik Neukirchen in Germany, and has published over 240 peer-reviewed articles across dermatology, allergology, immunology, and biochemistry. He also served as an Associate Professor at University of Bucharest and Austria, as well as a Visiting Professor at Capital University Washington DC, and at Donau-Krems University, Vienna. Highlighting the new range of healthcare services in the new clinic, he said that 'patients can access the solution of their issues including genetic, environmental, metabolic, immunity, and integrative medical assessments, detox and regeneration therapies, allergy and autoimmune disease treatments, nutritional medicine and supplementation protocols, chronic disease prevention and management programmes, advanced biological cancer support therapies, etc.'

India's Modi says he's received invitation for G7 summit in Canada
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he looked forward to meeting his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney during the Group of Seven summit, after the latter invited him to the gathering over a phone call on Friday. India is not a part of the grouping but can be invited as a guest to its annual gathering, which will be held this year in Kananaskis in the Canadian province of Alberta, from June 15-17. "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister (Carney)...thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this forward to our meeting at the Summit," Modi said in a post on X. The invitation suggests that both sides want to rebuild ties, which have nosedived in the last two years after Canada accused India of involvement undefined in a Sikh separatist leader's murder, and of attempting to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 elections. New Delhi denied both allegations. Modi also stated in his post that India and Canada would work together "with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests". India is Canada's 10th largest trading partner and Canada is the biggest exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India. Ottawa holds the rotational G7 presidency this year.
