Dubai announces plans for world’s largest wellness village

Dubai is set to launch what's billed as the 'world’s largest' wellness project, that’ll occupy an area of roughly 16 football fields. WorldCare Wellness Village is part of Dubai Healthcare City's (DHCC) Phase 2 expansion in Al Jadaf. The focus is on preventive care, alternative therapies and diagnostic screening for lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes. More than 100 healthcare and allied professionals are expected to work at the centre, which is expected to be ready in four years.
