Dubai Healthcare City

Dubai Healthcare City: A Great Medical Hub

The ruler of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashed Al-Maktoum, stated in the early part of the 21st Century that Dubai must become a center to provide health care not only for its residents but also as a regional center for the gulf countries. This is not only to cover primary and secondary health care but also, the ruler underlined his desire to let medical research find a home in Dubai and he laid great stress on this point.

What is the Dubai Healthcare City Today?

Located close to Sheik Zayed Rashid highway and the Wafi Center, Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) will shortly be served by the Dubai Metro green line, making access even easier and allowing the visitor the choice to leave the car at home. Parking is quite limited as there is still a lot of construction going on so this service will be very helpful.

Since its opening in 2002, the Dubai Healthcare City or DHCC has continued to expand and today contains two fully functional general hospitals and over 90 health clinics, this number continues to grow year on year. The range of medical services available in the Dubai Healthcare City is extremely extensive and the health practioners from around the world have been attracted to set up their services in this location. One of the many advantages includes the fact that all business is conducted tax free and as the community of health care professionals continues to grow, the opportunities to collaborate and gain cross benefits is in good view. The benefit for patients is that they can see internationally recognized leading health practioners without having to leave Dubai or even the Middle East.
