Tips for Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi pricing is governed by the DOH Mandatory Tariff (Shafafiya) — facilities charge 1x-3x the base tariff depending on their tier.
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island is the UAE's only multi-specialty hospital affiliated with a top US medical institution.
Premium hospitals in Dubai Healthcare City, Jumeirah, and Al Maryah Island (Abu Dhabi) typically charge at the top of the DOH tariff range (2.5-3x multiplier).
What you get at a premium facility: private rooms, shorter wait times (often same-day), named consultant access, concierge services, and international accreditation (JCI).
Premium insurance plans (annual premiums AED 15,000-40,000+) cover most of the cost — your co-pay at premium hospitals may be 0-10% for covered procedures.
For cosmetic procedures (rhinoplasty, liposuction, hair transplant), premium facilities offer board-certified surgeons with international training and state-of-the-art equipment.
