Fröken Sverige berättade för mig häromdagen att en nyhet om att Region Skåne ska samarbeta med Förenade Arabemiraten i visst hälsoarbete, fanns på ledarsidan i Sydsvenskan. Tyvärr då inte på webben.
En region som betalar vård för ‘papperslösa’ och som redan går på knäna, ska nu lägga resurser på ett muslimskt land då Skåne Care är en del av region Skåne.
Det är möjligt att pengar kommer in i slutänden till Sverige i form av skatter, men svenska skattepengar kommer iallafall användas till detta land, då man borde satsa på vård i Sverige.
Nedan är ett pressmeddelande som publicerades den 20 maj 2009 på Cision Wire:

Collaboration with Skåne County Council with regard to combined diabetes and obesity clinic in the United Arab Emirates
In unique collaboration with Skåne County Council’s company Skåne Care AB, Global Health Partner will set up a clinic in the United Arab Emirates which will focus on the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Skåne Care AB has long experience and great knowledge of diabetes care through the endocrinology clinic at Malmö University Hospital. “Global Health Partner is very happy about this collaboration, which we think will be of benefit to both parties and to the patients in the United Arab Emirates,” says Per Båtelson, Global Health Partner’s CEO.
On 14 May 2009 Global Health Partner entered into an agreement (see separate press release) with the Ministry of Health in the United Arab Emirates regarding the setting up and running of a combined obesity and diabetes clinic in Ajman, an Emirate that is about fifty kilometres from Dubai. The clinic, which will be the first of its kind in the region, with a combination of highly specialized obesity and diabetes care, is immediately adjacent to the public Sheikh Khalifa Hospital. Initially the clinic will focus on outpatient care, with additional limited volumes of inpatient obesity surgery. The aim is to gradually expand the inpatient care. Under the agreement Global Health Partner has full responsibility for leading and running the business and the term of the contract is initially five years.
The clinic in Ajman will be set up in collaboration with Malmö University Hospital through Skåne Care, which is Skåne County Council’s company for commercial collaboration abroad. Skåne County Council has long experience and is in the forefront with regard to clinical work and research related to diabetes and obesity. Over the five-year period Skåne Care will contribute with both competence regarding the treatment of diabetes and training and continual monitoring of the quality of the work done. “The collaboration with Global Health Partner enables us to put Skåne County Council on the map in a region that will greatly expand its hospital resources over the next twenty years. This will give us the opportunity to contribute with our competence, at the same time as the collaboration allows our personnel to develop further and is of commercial interest for Skåne County Council,” says Ronnie Halvardsson, Skåne Care’s CEO.

Region Skåne jublar och ska bygga upp den bästa kliniken i hela Mellanöstern i endokrinologi och man har ett kommersiellt intresse i detta:
