Erada Centre becomes first in UAE, Gulf to receive Arab Board accreditation

This makes Erada the first centre in the UAE and the wider Gulf region to receive this recognition in the field of addiction treatment, reaffirming its commitment to training and qualifying medical professionals to the highest international standards.

Abdul Razzaq Ameri, CEO of Erada Centre for Treatment and Rehabilitation in Dubai, said that the accreditation marks a significant milestone in the centre's efforts to provide specialised training programmes in addiction medicine, further strengthening its position as a leading institution in preparing doctors and specialists to the highest international standards.

"Over the years, we have consistently enhanced our curricula and training programmes to provide an advanced educational environment. Our curricula, training facilities, and scientific research mechanisms underwent a rigorous evaluation in line with Arab Board standards, culminating in this significant achievement," he said.

Ameri highlighted the centre's commitment to fostering scientific research and encouraging doctors and trainees to publish specialised studies, contributing to the advancement of addiction treatment regionally and internationally.

He added that the centre continues to strengthen its academic partnerships with leading institutions, including the University of Colorado in the United States, alongside its ongoing collaboration with Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dubai. These efforts aim to enhance training programmes and introduce new therapeutic specialisations, particularly in adolescent rehabilitation.
