Celebrated as the “birthplace of the nation’s leaders,” Kanad Hospital (formerly known as Oasis) bears a history and legacy that continue to make its people proud. The first hospital established in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Kanad brought modern medical care to the UAE in 1960 and changed the course of history in the nation from that point forward. Kanad boasts many firsts in the community: the first contact between Muslims and Christians, the first blood bank, the first X-ray machine, and the first mud-block and cement buildings. However, there is more that sets this hospital apart than all the “firsts” and the world-class healthcare it provides. The most striking thing that has always been true of Kanad is the genuineness of the love and compassion its patients experience. Established as a charitable Christian non-profit, Kanad has nurtured a legacy of selfless, sacrificial service by focusing on people, not profit. The hospital has thus earned a reputation for delivering exceptional care with the love and compassion of Jesus and has become a treasure in the United Arab Emirates.
