cardiovascular risk management through an AHA recognition

Abu Dhabi, UAE, October 2026 – SEHA, a subsidiary of PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the
Middle East, announced that SEHA's Al Dhafra Family Medicine Centre has earned the American Heart
Association's (AHA) Hypertension Practice Centre Certification, recognising its structured, evidence-
based approach to hypertension care.

Hypertension remains one of the leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke, making early diagnosis
and consistent management essential to reducing cardiovascular risk. Through its certified hypertension
programme, Al Dhafra Family Medicine Centre provides a comprehensive model of care that includes
ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), patient education, multidisciplinary follow-up, and
continuous quality improvement.

The certification recognises Al Dhafra Family Medicine Centre's structured, evidence-based approach to
hypertension care and cardiovascular risk management. It also reflects the centre's commitment to
strengthening prevention, early detection, patient education, and long-term management for people
living with high blood pressure in Al Dhafra Region.

Hamad Khamis Al Mansoori, Chief Executive Officer of SEHA Al Dhafra Hospitals, said:“This
certification gives patients and families across Al Dhafra confidence that hypertension care is delivered
through a structured, evidence-based model focused on earlier detection, informed self-management,
and consistent follow-up. It enhances our capacity to manage cardiovascular risk locally and promotes
improved long-term health throughout the community.”

Dr Mariam Rashed Al Mehairbi, Chief Medical Officer of SEHA Al Dhafra Hospitals, said:“This
certification is the result of focused work by our clinical and operational teams over recent months to
strengthen hypertension care pathways, align practice with recognised international standards and
support continuous improvement in patient outcomes. It is an important milestone for Al Dhafra Family
Medicine Centre and for the wider community we serve.”

Dr Fawaz Jasim Mohammed, Consultant Family Medicine and Team Lead at SEHA Al Dhafra's Family
Medicine Centre, said:“By combining accurate diagnosis, structured monitoring, patient education and
multidisciplinary support, we aim to help patients better understand and manage their blood pressure
and reduce their long-term cardiovascular risk.”
As part of SEHA's integrated healthcare network, Al Dhafra Family Medicine Centre continues to
advance community-based care through structured clinical pathways, quality improvement, and patient-
centred services.

This achievement supports SEHA's wider efforts to strengthen chronic disease prevention and
management across its integrated healthcare network, bringing internationally recognised standards of
care closer to communities. This milestone reflects SEHA's continued commitment to enhancing access

to high-quality care, supporting prevention and improving health outcomes for communities across Abu
Dhabi and the UAE.
