Burjeel Holdings' JV Alkalma launches regional mental health platform with four premier centers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
Abu Dhabi: 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.

Keep these 4 items out of your bedroom, feng shui expert warns — they could kill your vibe and even your relationship
A feng shui expert has revealed the four common items that people should never keep by their beds. Feng shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is an ancient Chinese practice that's meant to balance people with their environments and make everything flow to promote prosperity and well-being. Sanhe Shanren, a Chinese culture feng shui master, posted on TikTok the four things that could be draining your energy and causing fatigue, or 'at worst, affect wealth and health.' The first thing on his list was flowers — particularly for couples. 'Fresh flowers don't belong in couples' bedrooms,' he said in the video with 449,000 views. 'They invite third-party involvement, harming marital bonds.' However, the rule is different for single people. As the expert said, single people may display fresh flowers as long as they remember to change the water frequently: 'Never let flowers wilt.' Second, trash bins should never be placed near a bed because they 'carry turbid energy.' 'If placed bedside, you breathe this murky energy while sleeping,' he warned. 'Long-term exposure harms health.' He also advised against keeping medicines or medical records in bedside drawers. 'These health adverse items affect mood and mental state,' he said. Instead, he advised keeping all medications and medical records 'in boxes out of sight.' Finally, metal objects such as scissors or nail clippers should be kept far away from your bed. 'Feng shui teaches that sharp metal easily pierces your energy shield when too close,' he explained. He urged his followers to 'go check immediately' if any of these objects were placed near their beds. Users rushed to the comment section to thank Sanhe for the advice. 'I need to empty my drawers. That's why my energy has been off,' one person wrote. 'So true I have none of those items in my bedroom,' another chimed in. 'I keep so many of these near my bed cuz they are handy to have close if I need them,' a user admitted. However, others shared their personal reasons for why they purposely keep these items by their beds. 'If I don't have my meds nearby, I don't take them. At least the adhd ones need to be there, cause I will stay in bed for days otherwise,' someone shared. 'my diabetic a– needs my meds by my bed,' another said. Another person shared a very common NYC situation: 'i live in a studio. i live between my trashcan, my desk, my door, my mirror and my wilting flowers.' '…I was taught as a kid to put a pair of scissors underneath my pillow to Ward off bad dreams. It always worked and even if my scissors slipped off the bed or fell down the back, it would be the night that I didn't sleep without knowing. What would feng shui say about that? I am genuinely curious,' one person challenged.
