The Health and Medical Services Department provides medical care for all UAE nationals, visitors and resident expatriates.

Dubai has many well equipped public and private hospitals offering high quality health and dental care services. There are seven hospitals in Dubai and government clinics in the districts of Jumairah, Satwa, Buhail, Rashidiya, Qusais, Hatta, Al-Lusaili, Jebel Ali, and at the airport and Port Rashid.

Emergency medical care in Dubai is free for anyone and there are no restrictions. For non-urgent health care, any UAE resident seeking treatment may register for a health card for which a fee is paid.

New arrivals are advised to register immediately for a health card. They may otherwise have to pay full medical costs after the first two visits.
