Dubai Hospital

Dubai Hospital operates as a comprehensive tertiary care facility offering the full spectrum of medical and surgical specialties. Its cardiology centre is one of its flagship departments, providing preventive cardiology, diagnostic imaging (echocardiography, cardiac CT, nuclear cardiology), interventional procedures including angiography and coronary stenting, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery. The hospital also operates a specialized cardiac rehabilitation program.

Other major specialty departments include general and laparoscopic surgery, orthopaedics and trauma surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, internal medicine and sub-specialties (endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology and dialysis, pulmonology), obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and neonatology, oncology, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, and psychiatry. The hospital's accident and emergency department functions as a major trauma and emergency referral point for Deira and surrounding areas of Dubai, operating around the clock.

Dubai Hospital is one of the largest healthcare facilities in Dubai by bed count, with approximately 625 beds comprising 432 inpatient beds and 195 daycare beds. The hospital occupies a prominent 14-story main building in the Deira district, with dedicated departments spread across multiple floors and connected service areas.

Facilities include multiple fully equipped operating theatres, intensive care units (adult, paediatric, neonatal), a cardiac catheterization laboratory, endoscopy suites, advanced diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, digital X-ray, nuclear medicine, ultrasound), a comprehensive clinical laboratory capable of routine and highly specialized testing, blood banking services, a rehabilitation department with physiotherapy and occupational therapy, a 24-hour accident and emergency department, and extensive outpatient clinic facilities serving tens of thousands of patients annually. The hospital also maintains a modern pharmacy and ancillary support services aligned with DHA standards.

As a government hospital operated by the Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Hospital primarily serves UAE nationals and residents holding UAE-mandated health insurance or covered under government health schemes. UAE nationals receive treatment at no direct cost, while residents pay at government-subsidized rates. International visitors and tourists can access the hospital's emergency services and outpatient clinics, though they are typically subject to direct-pay billing at government hospital fee schedules.

The hospital's staff are multilingual, reflecting Dubai's diverse workforce, with communication available in Arabic, English, Hindi, Urdu, and other South Asian and Asian languages. The hospital is located in Deira, which is well connected to Dubai's metro network and road infrastructure. International patients seeking planned treatment at Dubai government hospitals are generally advised to contact the DHA patient services centre for guidance on accessing public healthcare as a non-resident.
