Etihad Airways has partnered with Mediclinic Middle East to offer its UAE-based travellers a convenient Covid-19 PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing service at their home, or at a Mediclinic facility, prior to their travel.
This development is part of the airline’s Etihad Wellness sanitization and safety programme, recently introduced to ensure the highest standards of hygiene are maintained at every stage of the customer journey.
“We have a paramount responsibility to ensure those who are travelling from Abu Dhabi can do so assured in the knowledge that every effort is being made to care for them at every stage of their journey,” commented Dr. Nadia Bastaki, Vice President-Medical Services, Etihad Airways.
The airline aims to evolve the relationship with Mediclinic to further simplify the home testing process for its guests as international travel restrictions are eased and more countries open their borders to inbound visitors.
“At Mediclinic all testing is carried out by a trained professional, and our dedicated COVID-19 testing laboratories in Abu Dhabi and Dubai mean that results are available quickly and accurately,” remarked David Hadley, CEO, Mediclinic ME.
