This achievement makes The Brain & Performance Centre the first facility in the Middle East, and one of only three outside the United States, to receive UHMS accreditation. It joins an exclusive global network of just 144 accredited hyperbaric facilities, recognised for meeting the highest international standards of patient safety, clinical governance, and scientific excellence.
Unlike regional providers offering oxygen-based wellness therapies, The Brain & Performance Centre distinguishes itself as a fully medical, evidence-based institution. Its approach combines advanced diagnostics, multidisciplinary clinical expertise, and personalised treatment protocols aimed at improving brain health, recovery, and human performance.
“Achieving UHMS accreditation is a defining moment for our Centre and for the UAE’s healthcare sector. It positions Dubai on the global map for medical excellence and confirms that our protocols, facilities, and safety standards not only meet but exceed the highest levels of international accreditation. Hyperbaric medicine is not a wellness trend; it is a scientific discipline — and this recognition affirms our leadership in that field,” said Dr Craig Cook, chief executive officer of The Brain & Performance Centre.
“This achievement reinforces our unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and scientific innovation. We are proud to represent the region on the global stage and to provide patients access to the world’s most advanced, medically led hyperbaric programmes,” added Dr Semer Wang, Medical Director at The Brain & Performance Centre.
The UHMS accreditation process involves a rigorous multi-stage evaluation, assessing clinical operations, staff credentials, patient outcomes, and safety procedures — ensuring that every accredited facility operates under the most stringent global standards.
This milestone cements The Brain & Performance Centre’s status as a regional pioneer and international benchmark in hyperbaric medicine and advanced health technologies, aligning with Dubai’s vision to lead in medical innovation and attract patients seeking trusted, world-class healthcare.
