 H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the UAE, today inaugurated the Smart Salem centre for medical fitness and residence visa processing at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the state-of-the-art facility provides swift medical screening for residence visas, allowing customers to obtain medical fitness results within 30 minutes. The second facility of its kind to open in Dubai, the centre was established through a public-private collaboration. The first Smart Salem facility, located in City Walk, was inaugurated in 2020.

The facility has the capacity to cater to 800 customers per day and features the first automated blood collection system of its kind in the region as well as cutting-edge technologies. The centre is 100 percent digital and paperless.

The one-stop-shop features seven private blood collection rooms, three X-ray rooms, an on-site laboratory, eight smart check-in kiosks, in addition to an Emirates ID biometrics office and an Amer support office. Smart Salem in DIFC is also equipped with AI and smart automation and features a hygiene robot, a robot barista and transportation robots.

Both Smart Salem centres in City Walk and DIFC are open six days a week from Sunday to Friday.

The third Smart Salem centre is expected to open in TECOM by the end of this year.
