Filipina expats in general are excellent multi-taskers in whichever field they work in, however one of the things they tend to forget caring about, especially those who are very much career-minded, is their own health.
Klinika Maharlika in Abu Dhabi, located at the 3rd Floor Al Saif Tower Zayed the First Electra Street, understands the need of Filipinas to get themselves regularly checked as well as the need to convey and consult with a doctor they can trust. This is exactly where Klinika Maharlika’s Dr. Mapet Gurdiel comes into the picture – as she’s the currently the only Filipino OB Gynecologist in Abu Dhabi who’s ready to lend her aid for Filipinas with her proven track record of almost 20 years.
“Filipino Healthcare Professionals are known to be globally competent, compassionate and caring. This is why we want to share to the UAE, this unique healthcare concept as Klinika Maharlika’s mission includes providing patient-centered benevolence and excellent healthcare to Filipinos and all citizens of UAE. We treat our patients/clients like royalty (Maharlika) hence our name,” said the company in an announcement.
