Paris, Dubai, 25 July 2023

VISIOMED GROUP (FR0013481835 - ALVMG), a group specializing in innovative healthcare technologies and services, today announced that Smart Salem, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, is now offering biometric services for the issuance of identity cards ("Emirates ID"). The Smart Salem centres are the only medical fitness centres working with Dubai Government that can delivery medical test results and Emirates ID biometrics in just 30 mins, the fastest in Dubai.

This is a major milestone for Smart Salem, which now operates 3 medical centres in Dubai's central business & residential districts.

This important milestone for Smart Salem which now boasts three premium medical centres located in Dubai's key business and residential districts.

The Emirates ID biometrics service will be delivered in partnership with the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) and will be available to all Smart Salem customers.

New residents of the United Arab Emirates require both a medical test for their visa and biometrics for their identity card. Thanks to Smart Salem, these procedures can now be carried out simultaneously at dedicated centres. The addition of Emirates ID Biometrics makes it a ‘one-stop-shop' experience for many customers.

The population of Dubai is predicted to increase hugely to 5.8M by 2040 (compared with 3.3M in 2019). The Emirates ID serves as more than just an identification card in the UAE. It grants residents access to services like access government services, opening a bank account and getting a mobile connection, renting or buying property, and applying for a driving licence. It also makes it easier to travel to other Gulf countries.

Sanjay Verma, Managing Director of Smart Salem, said: "Smart Salem's value proposition is centred on our commitment to provide a cutting-edge, high-quality service and an exceptional customer experience, particularly in terms of its seamlessness. By facilitating access to medical tests and biometrics for Emirates IDs, thanks to our technological expertise and strong relationships with local authorities, we are officially the fastest full-service operator in the region. We are extremely proud of this latest achievement, which demonstrates our commitment to offering our customers the best possible service and is part of our roadmap for 2023 and beyond."

Thomas Picquette, CEO of Visiomed Group, added: "Making life easier for our customers by adding biometric data capture to our offering strengthens Smart Salem's position in the market. It demonstrates our commitment to go the extra mile to offer our professional customers and residents a solution that considers their needs and optimises their time. Visiomed Group combines cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and agility, enabling us to constantly expand our services to meet changing demand. We are delighted with this new milestone in the Middle East and 2023 continues to look very promising for the Group."
