The DRFK Turkish International Day Surgery Center has officially opened its doors in Jumeirah, Dubai, as the healthcare group’s first international facility outside Turkey. This event connects Dubai’s growing medical tourism industry with Turkey’s expertise in neurosurgery, aesthetic medicine, and same-day surgical care.

Founded by renowned neurosurgeon Op. Dr. Fatih KIRAR, the center introduces advanced treatments to Dubai, including the exclusive “Regression and Robotic Laser Therapy” for non-surgical herniated disc treatment, a technique that Dr. KIRAR pioneered. Known as the “King of Spine” in Turkey, Dr. KIRAR is celebrated for his minimally invasive spinal procedures and compassionate patient care.

The choice of Dubai for this new center follows nearly ten years of treating patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at the group’s flagship clinic in Turkey and through its medical tourism office in Cologne, Germany. This decision reflects the ongoing demand in the region for specialized healthcare services.

The facility integrates outpatient clinics, procedure rooms, imaging and diagnostic units, laboratory services, and a pharmacy, all under one roof. The center emphasizes same-day treatments, allowing patients to access advanced care without the need for hospitalization. Notable services include crowns produced in just 45 minutes with in-house milling machines, and 3D hairline design, which enables patients to visualize results before undergoing same-day hair transplantation.

Equipped with cutting-edge, AI-powered diagnostic tools from Europe, the USA, and Japan, DRFK provides a variety of advanced services. These include non-surgical spinal treatments guided by fluoroscopy, AI-powered diagnostic endoscopy, 3D dental scanning with same-day dental implants, and aesthetic treatments utilizing the latest laser technologies.

The center boasts a multidisciplinary team of distinguished specialists from Turkey, covering fields such as neurosurgery, plastic surgery, dentistry, dermatology, aesthetic medicine, orthopedics, pediatrics, and gastroenterology—many of whom are recognized leaders in their areas of expertise.

At the grand opening, notable guests included H.E. Lutfullah Göktaş, Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to the UAE, and H.E. Onur Şaylan, Consul General of the Republic of Türkiye in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Both dignitaries highlighted the importance of the strong bilateral relations between the UAE and Türkiye, emphasizing the value of bringing Turkish medical expertise to the region. They also acknowledged the UAE’s status as a top destination for medical excellence and international collaboration.

As reported by ZAWYA, Dr. Fatih KIRAR stated, “With growing patient demand from the GCC, Dubai was a natural next step for our international expansion. UAE’s stellar reputation as a global healthcare hub, its world-class infrastructure, and its leadership’s vision for medical excellence made it the ideal location for our first international center. Our goal is to deliver innovative, patient-centered care using the latest medical technologies, while maintaining the personalized approach that defines Turkish healthcare excellence.”
