UAE Health Tourism
Medical Tourism is an industry growing at a steady pace, across global markets and is providing people from all around the world with a wide range of medical and healthcare-related services. The quality of medical care is a vital motivator for international patients who choose to travel abroad seeking better medical options, including better medical facilities and cost-effective procedures.
Over the last decade, medical tourism in the UAE has been developing rapidly and is a preferred destination for many international travelers. UAE is currently in the top 10 highly sought-after medical tourism destinations in the world and is climbing the charts at a rapid pace with each passing year. Dubai ranks first as the top medical destination in the Arab region. It includes tourists from neighboring countries, other Asian Nations, USA, Europe, and African nations. The increasing number of patients indicates the effectiveness of the government in welcoming patients and providing them with proper medical attention. The strong health regulation framework, which helps ensure the quality of health care provided, the many positive government policies and the strong health infrastructure has resulted in making UAE a popular choice for medical tourism.
All set to become the Hub of Medical Tourism, UAE has succeeded in offering world-class healthcare options with Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the major hotspots. In Abu Dhabi, with a partnership between the Department of Health and the Department of Culture and Tourism, the Emirate has launched a major drive to attract more medical tourists. Dubai is working aggressively on expanding and revamping its healthcare infrastructure and is aiming to attract around half a million health tourists in the coming years. Dubai Health Experience (DHX) was launched by Dubai in 2018 to enhance the whole medical tourism design. (DHX) launched by Dubai
