Health and Wellness

Dubai is one of the hubs in medicine and scientific study in the MENA region. It has some of the best healthcare providers in the UAE and the most innovative healthcare business models to rival any in the world in terms of patient experience and comfort.
If you’ve come from a country like the UK with a national health service, Dubai’s system can be confusing at first. Here you don’t need to register with a specific GP; you can make an appointment at any clinic in the city, so you can try a few to find the doctor you are most comfortable with. We recommend that you opt for the comfortable option provided by First Response Healthcare to call the doctor at your Hotel Room or to your home in Dubai.

What to do if you get sick in Dubai?

<strong>Following are the best hospitals in Dubai categorized as Public Healthcare and Private Healthcare</strong>
<h3>Public Healthcare in Dubai
</h3>
Dubai has one of the best public health systems in the world, offering a high standard of medical care in state-of-the art facilities. It is run by the <a href="https://www.dha.gov.ae/en" target="_blank">Dubai Health Authority</a> (DHA), which oversees both public and private healthcare, and replaces the Department of Health and Medical Services (DOHMS). The Emirate has four major government hospitals:
<ul><li>Dubai Hospital,</li><li>Rashid Hospital,</li><li>Latifa Women and Children Hospital and</li><li>Hatta Hospital</li></ul>
Each has an emergency department, and offers both inpatient and outpatient services. English is commonly spoken by staff.
<h3>Private Healthcare in Dubai
</h3>
Although the quality of care in public hospitals and medical centers is very good, many expats use private healthcare. If you have health insurance, you can choose from a wide network of facilities. As per regulations and strong government initiative all hospitals in Dubai have international accreditations mostly with Joint Commission International (JCI). Following are the top private hospitals in Dubai.
<ul>
<li>Saudi German Hospital</li>
<li>Al Zahra Private Hospital</li>
<li>Emirates Hospital</li>
<li>American Hospital</li>
<li>NMC Hospital</li>
<li>Medcare Hospital</li>
<li>Aster Hospital</li>
<li>Prime Hospital</li>
<li>Belhoul Specialty Hospital</li>
<li>Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital</li>
<li>Canadian Specialist hospital</li>
</ul>

Which are the best hospitals in Dubai?

Public hospitals provide free emergency treatment to everyone. If you don’t have a health card, they will issue you with a provisional one when you arrive at the emergency department. Since the introduction of compulsory health insurance for all residents, all public hospitals accept health insurance cards, and bill insurance companies for emergency services.
Most medical emergencies are dealt with at Rashid Hospital. Private facilities also provide emergency treatment, but this can be quite expensive without comprehensive health insurance.
<strong>Call an Ambulance for Life Threatening Emergencies (Dial 999)</strong>
Life-threatening illness and injuries that require a Hospital Emergency Room (ER) include the following:
<ul>
<li>Radiating chest pain (such as that with a heart attack)</li>
<li>Sudden severe headache (which may be an aneurysm or stroke)</li>
<li>Altered mental state or loss of consciousness</li>
<li>Severe abdominal pain on the right-hand side (appendicitis)</li>
<li>A newborn with a fever or injury</li>
<li>Difficulty breathing</li>
<li>Seizures</li>
<li>Serious burns</li>
</ul>
All of the above symptoms can lead to a life-threatening condition. That is when an emergency room would be necessary. None of these are considered minor health emergencies.
For emergencies you should call the Dubai Emergencies Helpline Number 999 and an ambulance from Dubai Corporation of Ambulance Services will reach you.
