Tips for Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi pricing is governed by the emirate's Mandatory Tariff (Shafafiya): facilities charge 1x-3x the base tariff depending on their tier.
Carry your travel insurance card and policy number at all times — most UAE hospitals can process international insurance claims directly.
For non-emergencies, visit walk-in clinics rather than hospital ERs — walk-in GP consultations cost AED 150-400 versus AED 500-1,500 for ER visits.
All UAE hospitals are legally required to provide emergency treatment regardless of your insurance or visa status — you will be treated first and billed later.
Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) and Abu Dhabi have hospitals experienced with international patients and medical tourists — they often have multilingual staff.
