Shaping Global Responsibility — Dirk Burghaus Leads Sportklinik Hellersen into Strategic Partnership with Abu Dhabi

By taking over the management and operation of the orthopedic surgery department at the Emirates International Hospital in Al Ain, Dirk Burghaus marks a significant milestone in the international expansion of Sportklinik Hellersen. The recently formalized partnership with the renowned clinic in the United Arab Emirates is a logical next step in a carefully developed internationalization strategy that Burghaus has been advancing for years.

At the core of the collaboration lies a long-term commitment to excellence, knowledge transfer, and patient-centered care. In addition to its medical expertise in orthopedics, joint replacement, spine surgery, trauma care, pain medicine, and sports medicine, Sportklinik Hellersen contributes its extensive experience in structured care delivery and quality management.

„This partnership is more than cooperation — it reflects our vision of redefining healthcare: cross-border, value-driven, and quality-focused.“

The agreement also includes a joint education and training strategy aimed at countering the global shortage of healthcare professionals. Patients from the Emirates will have improved access to treatment in Germany, supported by modern telemedicine and patient-centered continuity of care.

The new presence in Al Ain not only enhances the international footprint of Sportklinik Hellersen but also opens doors to scientific collaboration, innovative care concepts, and intercultural exchange. Under Burghaus’s strategic leadership, a forward-thinking model is taking shape — with Sportklinik Hellersen setting the pace for German medical excellence abroad.
