PureHealth launches platform for mental health
Sakina introduces services such as neurodiversity centres, inpatient institutes, satellite clinics, and mental health hubs.
PureHealth has launched Sakina, a new platform dedicated to enhancing mental wellness in line with Abu Dhabi's mental health strategy in the UAE.
Sakina aims to help individuals with positive mental health and provide access to holistic care. It introduces a broad range of services, including neurodiversity centres, inpatient institutes, specialised satellite clinics, and outpatient mental health hubs, as well as homecare options.
By offering these services, PureHealth will support the customisation of specialised psychiatry services, catering to diverse populations through early intervention, initial screening, and complete rehabilitation.
To assist at-risk groups such as the elderly, women, children, People of Determination, and those dealing with addiction and eating disorders, Sakina will further offer secondary and tertiary care services.
Sakina's services will be enhanced further through the use of a digital companion, named ‘Pura’, which is an AI-based longevity application by PureHealth.
Pura provides personalised care, support, monitoring, and a full spectrum of psychiatry services.
In addition, Sakina’s network will further be supported by 34 satellite clinics, two neurodiversity centres, two mental health hubs, and nine integrated clinics.
The platform will employ more than 500 clinical professionals, including physicians and Sakina-trained nurses, backed by 77 administrative staff.
PureHealth said that it will follow a tiered care approach to ensure psychiatric assistance is accessible, focusing on children aged from 0 to 10 years, adolescents between ten and 18 years old, as well as adults, including seniors, across all mental health concerns.
The company will utilise the network, expertise, and technologies of its subsidiary SEHA to deliver exceptional mental health services through the latter's clinics and mobile access.
Sakina CEO Dr Zain Al Yafai said: “By harnessing SEHA's comprehensive network of clinics and hospitals and cutting-edge digital technologies, providing a spectrum of inpatient and outpatient services from home care and therapies to catering to those with additional needs, Sakina has adopted a model of mental healthcare delivery that is embedded in the communities and that substantively supports all individuals, including the most vulnerable, in their pursuit of care that can meet them wherever they are, at home, on the move, and right in their communities.”
