Sharjah Equine Hospital

What Sharjah Equine Hospital does

Sharjah Equine Hospital (SEH) is a privately held, comprehensive equine veterinary hospital established in 2003 under the patronage of H.R.H Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, and headquartered in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The hospital operates as a multi-disciplinary referral centre serving Sharjah and the surrounding Emirates, with 11–50 employees organised across medical services, diagnostic imaging, reproduction, laboratory, ambulatory, and education functions. It provides 24-hour emergency and critical care, surgery (including laparoscopy and arthroscopy), internal medicine, ophthalmology, dentistry, neonatology, orthopaedics, and advanced imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, shockwave, CT, MRI, and dynamic endoscopy), supported by an on-site diagnostic laboratory offering haematology, biochemistry, microbiology, histopathology, endocrinology, and PCR services.

SEH runs a dedicated Equine Reproduction Centre covering embryo transfer, artificial insemination, vitrification-based embryo freezing, semen collection and freezing, fetal sexing, pregnancy monitoring, and infertility investigation. It is the only EU licensed embryo collection and freezing centre in the UAE and operates an EU licensed semen storage and collection centre, enabling cross-border genetic material trade, and its team is described as having developed many of the vitrification techniques currently used in the field. The business model is professional services revenue generated across four streams: core veterinary care, reproduction services, diagnostic laboratory services for referring practitioners, and education programmes (externship, internship, ABVP-sanctioned 2-year residency, and a UAE National internship). Distribution is anchored in facility-based delivery, an ambulatory unit serving the wider Emirates, and a referral network of UAE veterinary practitioners whose samples and cases feed SEH's hospital and laboratory channels; the diagnostic laboratory is underpinned by a cooperative support arrangement with Rossdales Veterinary Laboratory in Newmarket, England for complex interpretations.
