Areas Where Zavis Has Matched at Least One Pediatrics Professional

Areas come from the address on each facility's Zavis directory listing. 3,021 of Dubai's 5,505 facilities have an address that names one of these areas; the rest are in other communities or have no usable address, so an area's count is not its full workforce and an area missing from the list is not an area without this specialty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pediatrics professionals are in Dubai?

Dubai's medical register lists 1,221 pediatrics professionals. 853 of them are licensed at a Dubai facility, working across 278 facilities. The rest are Registered Only: registered with the Dubai health regulator but holding no facility licence, so they cannot practise in Dubai until a facility activates one.

Is the pediatrics supply adequate in Dubai?

With 23.3 professionals licensed at a facility per 100,000 population, Zavis places the pediatrics supply in Dubai in its "Abundant" band. This band covers 15 or more professionals licensed at a facility per 100,000 population. The band is a headcount rate: it does not measure access, waiting times or where the professionals work. Registered Only records are left out of this rate because they cannot practise.
