The tertiary care hospital has five hospitals and 40 clinics in the Philippines, a 200-bed hospital in Guam and a clinic in Dubai.
It opened a Dh10 million polyclinic in Dubai last October. It will be followed by more clinics in the city and the Northern Emirates next year, mostly through acquisitions, said Dr Rebecca Desiderio, the chief executive of Sama TMC Medical Services, a joint venture of the Kuwait-based Sama Medical Group and PSI Healthcare Development Services Corporation in the Philippines.
