Based upon very positive experiences of Fischer Management Consulting (FMB) quality management systems in Germany, the company group decided to export its services of health care to foreign countries. 

The quality-management system provides an enormous know-how, that FMB wants to market abroad. The company group, with almost 2.500 specialized technicians and care givers -from technicians for orthopaedic services, examined nurses to specialists for modern wound care procedures- will open a "German Medical Center" during 2004 in the United Arab Emirates. 

FMB will offer rehabilitation, postoperative care, supply of technical aids at the point-of-care and educate local health care providers. 

The United Arab Emirates offer ideal prerequisites for the FMB company group, so the vision will soon turn into business. 

4.800 physician in the Emirates studied medicine in Germany and the number of hospital beds (6,897) is equivalent to Germanys Saarland. 

In Dubai, the Medical Center (Healthcare City) will open in fall of 2004. A modern health care complex with clinics, rehabilitation-facilities, colleges and health care centers for the arabian countries. 

The government of the united Arabic emirates wants to bring the standards of local health-care services to an internationally high accepted level. The annual travelling of patients to England, America and Germany from the region exceeds almost € 30 million and will soon be stopped. 

The FMB company group fits perfectly into this entrepreneurial and business minded environment. The company group is not only the largest quality-management community for health care services in Germany, but has always been the visionary and promoter for innovative solutions to the German health care community. 

First activities to enter the Emirates markets begun in June and July, 2003 by Fischer Management Beratungs GmbH. Solid market surveys, funding and project-management belong to the quality-management system within FMB as well as core marketing activities. Undergoing such a project, standard business areas like distribution and marketing have to be mastered as well.
