As part of its commitment to personalised healthcare and supporting the UAE’s national vision for a healthier society, Mediclinic Middle East has introduced a direct-to-consumer gut microbiome testing package. This innovative service is aimed at helping individuals enhance their overall health and well-being through tailored dietary and lifestyle insights based on their unique microbiome profile.
Delivered through Mediclinic Precise, the group’s precision medicine arm, this service is available across the UAE. It expands Mediclinic’s already comprehensive portfolio of genetic testing solutions, which include assessments for reproductive health, cancer risk, cardiovascular disease, and inherited conditions. All tests are supported by Mediclinic’s advanced laboratories and are accessible through its network of healthcare facilities.
Gut microbiome testing allows individuals to gain a deep understanding of their gut health—an increasingly important area of focus in modern medicine. A diverse and balanced gut microbiome is associated with reduced risk of chronic illnesses and better overall well-being. This test empowers users to take a personalised approach to health by adjusting their diet and lifestyle based on specific microbial insights.
“The human microbiome is a powerful indicator of health, influencing digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mental health,” said Dr. Jacques Kobersy, Chief Medical Officer at Mediclinic Middle East. “With the launch of our direct-to-consumer gut microbiome test, we are making cutting-edge scientific tools more accessible, helping our patients make informed, proactive decisions about their health.”
The new offering combines advanced genetic sequencing with AI-powered dietary planning to support improved digestion, immune function, weight management, and more. The package includes both virtual and in-person consultations, with convenient at-home testing options featuring pickup and drop-off services.
Available in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain, Mediclinic’s new gut health solution marks a significant step forward in precision medicine, bringing personalised, data-driven healthcare closer to individuals across the UAE.
