“We are looking at opening similar DNA Centers in Saudi Arabia and Turkey within the next 12 to 18 months,” he asserted.
“We chose to launch in the UAE capital as it is a hub for the region, is well served by numerous international carriers and an emerging destination of distinction for health and wellness tourism.”
