Burjeel Holdings Adopts Oracle Cloud for Next-Gen EMR
Burjeel Holdings, a super-specialty healthcare provider in the MENA region, has launched one of the region's largest Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platforms in partnership with Oracle Health. This move strengthens Burjeel's commitment to AI adoption, digital transformation, and evidence-based healthcare. The Oracle Health EMR platform, hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the Oracle Cloud Dubai Region, enhances patient care, clinical efficiency, and operational excellence across Burjeel's healthcare network.
The EMR platform, the most significant technological upgrade in Burjeel's history, simplifies access to real-time patient insights, streamlines workflows, improves clinical outcomes, and enhances patient safety. AI-powered decision support tools, integrated alerts, and real-time coordination capabilities empower clinicians with data-driven insights to deliver superior healthcare services. By reducing patient waiting times and increasing face-to-face engagement, the platform elevates the overall patient experience and quality of care.
The platform was officially launched at Burjeel Medical City (BMC) in the presence of Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings; John Sunil, Group CEO of Burjeel Holdings; Alaa Adel, Senior Vice President and Managing Director – International of Oracle Health; and Akram Sami Dhaini, Vice President and Managing Director, Oracle, along with other senior officials. The initial rollout has begun at Burjeel Medical City, Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi, and Burjeel Day Surgery Center, Al Reem Island, paving the way for full-scale implementation across the Burjeel network.
With over 3,700 employees trained, the transition is supported by super-users, lead super-users, and 60+ Oracle experts, ensuring seamless adoption. Built on Oracle's secure and scalable cloud infrastructure, the platform enables interoperability across Burjeel's clinical ecosystem, allowing seamless coordination between hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients. This digital transformation is a crucial step in advancing Burjeel's AI-driven value-creation strategy, enhancing operational efficiencies, and future-proofing healthcare delivery.
Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences, emphasized the collaboration's impact, stating that Burjeel Holdings and Oracle Health share a mission to use modern technology to improve patient outcomes, increase operational efficiency, and enhance healthcare safety. With real-time data insights, predictive analytics, and AI-powered automation, Burjeel Holdings is setting new benchmarks in next-generation healthcare solutions and reinforcing its leadership in digital health transformation across the MENA region.

Burjeel Holdings' JV Alkalma Launches Regional Mental Health Platform with Four Premier Centers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

In a strategic move to enhance access to mental health services across the region, Burjeel Holdings, a leading super-specialty healthcare services provider in MENA, has launched four specialist mental health centers under its mental health and wellbeing platform, Alkalma, through the integration of Aspris Healthcare facilities. The centers, located in Dubai's City Walk and Dubai Healthcare City, Abu Dhabi's Al Bateen, and Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, are recognized for delivering personalized, adaptable mental healthcare across a wide spectrum of psychological needs. These newly integrated centers deliver personalized care through a range of therapy formats, including individual, group, and family sessions, now aligned with Alkalma's mission to build a value-driven mental healthcare ecosystem rooted in prevention, accessibility, and overall wellbeing. Together, the four centers offer a combined annual capacity of approximately 90,000 consultations. Although mental health conditions affect up to one in five individuals annually, they account for less than 5% of total health spending across the region. This underinvestment is compounded by a persistent shortage of clinical professionals and limited access to integrated networks, highlighting a critical gap that Alkalma is designed to address. This launch marks the first phase of a multi-year expansion strategy. By establishing a presence in major urban markets and aligning operations with Keralty's globally validated, value-based care models, Alkalma is laying the foundation for a scalable platform positioned to meet rising demand and deliver measurable health and economic outcomes. John Sunil, Chief Executive Officer of Burjeel Holdings, said: 'Integrating these centers into our ecosystem marks a pivotal step in realizing our vision for a regional mental health platform rooted in Alkalma's values of clinical excellence and inclusivity. It enables us to expand access to high-quality care while accelerating the delivery of outcomes that matter to patients and health systems alike.' Alkalma was launched as a strategic joint venture between Burjeel Holdings and Colombia-based healthcare leader Keralty, a global organization with nearly five decades of experience in value-based care. As a founding partner, Keralty brings deep expertise in delivering integrated mental health and primary care services across nine countries, including the U.S., supporting over 500,000 individuals globally in behavioral health. Dr. Emilio Herrera, CEO of Alkalma, said: 'At Alkalma, we believe a healthcare system is defined by how it supports those most in need. There is no health without mental health. Establishing our presence in the UAE and Saudi Arabia reflects our commitment to advancing national priorities and bringing the best scientific evidence, the highest quality of care, to serve the community. This is only the beginning.' Shorooq, a leading regional investment manager, facilitated the strategic integration of Aspris Healthcare facilities. Mahmoud Adi, Founding Partner at Shorooq, said: 'We are proud to see these facilities become foundational to a regionally integrated mental health ecosystem. We believe private equity can be a transformative force in sectors that touch people's lives.' In the coming months, Alkalma will fully integrate these centers under a unified brand, expand clinical capacity, and launch a digital mental-health platform to reach under-served populations. Further centers in new communities across the UAE and Saudi Arabia are under review as part of the JV's regional scale-up plan. Alkalma is positioned to play a defining role in shaping the region's next-generation mental health ecosystem, delivering value across patients, systems and stakeholders.
