United Arab Emirates project continues a US-Arab trend
By Scott Allen, Globe Staff *|* May 31, 2004
Harvard Medical School plans to break ground today on a branch in the Persian Gulf that will help oversee a massive “healthcare city” in the United Arab Emirates, the latest in a wave of US-Arab medical projects that was accelerated by the post-Sept. 11 restrictions on travel to the United States by the Middle East’s elite.
The Harvard Medical School Dubai Center, the school’s biggest international project ever, will train medical staff, direct research, and provide quality control for the 435-acre medical campus taking shape in the coastal city of Dubai. Local government and business leaders recruited Harvard to help manage their quest for “world class” medicine in the desert, agreeing to accept Harvard’s standards on both medicine and equal opportunity for women.
