From prevention to urgent procedures – in Dubai, you can expect modern care, digitalization, and top-tier specialists from around the world.
It’s no secret that Dubai offers one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world. High standards of care, internationally educated doctors, and cutting-edge technologies are a given here. The city is home to numerous hospitals that meet strict international accreditations like JCI (Joint Commission International), offering a wide range of services from emergency medicine to preventive programs and aesthetic procedures.

General practitioner visit: 100–400 AED
Specialist consultation: 300–800 AED
Basic medications in pharmacies: 30–150 AED
Emergency care: from 500 AED and up
