Khaleej Times, Gulf News, The National & UAE Media: Shaping Healthcare Dialogue
Dr Prem Jagyasi has been a prominent voice in UAE’s media, regularly featured across leading platforms like Khaleej Times, Gulf News, Arab Business, and The National for his authoritative insights into healthcare innovation, medical tourism strategy, patient behavior, and wellness infrastructure.
- In Khaleej Times, he emphasized that cost alone cannot drive UAE’s medical tourism success:
“Though healthcare cost should be controlled in the UAE, medical tourism can’t be developed only on cost effectiveness,” he said. “Perception of the destination, quality of services, and added advantages help in the development of medical tourism.”
He further explained, “The key factors are lack of affordability, availability, and accessibility,” pointing to healthcare bottlenecks in systems like Canada and the UK.

- As Group Director of Lifeline Healthcare, he championed the boutique hospital model in The National:
“Why do we run a boutique hospital? We are surrounded by an affluent society and they want a good service from the moment they walk through the door… Boutique means providing exceptional care and quality of medical services in a striking relaxing ambience.”

- In Gulf News, he discussed the shift toward self-monitoring and prevention:
“Home-care is the latest trend in prevention of chronic diseases or for proper maintenance of your treatment through regular monitoring.”

- He also offered a nuanced take on social media’s role in patient behavior in Khaleej Times:
“People can learn a lot from social media… But since it’s not well-monitored, there’s no authenticity and no control. Anyone can basically write anything — and that’s the danger.”

- As Director of Business Development at Jebel Ali Hospital, he weighed in on the private sector’s growing role:
“The private industry is preferred for all sorts of out-patient treatment due to less waiting time and personalized services. It plays an essential complementary role to public hospitals.”
“The number of outpatient treatments in Dubai are almost double compared to government hospitals. Patients now have more choice — they can choose which doctor to see and where.”
On international pricing, he added, “Comparing prices across countries is unfair. The same quality of services in the US or Europe may be three times more expensive than in the UAE. That doesn’t make services in the West bad. Context matters.”

“Jebel Ali Hospital regularly treats labourers in serious conditions. The cases are relatively high on this side because we are in ‘New Dubai’ where there is a lot of construction work,” he said.
“It’s very important to spread awareness because recently we have seen some cases in very bad condition.”
