Traveling to Umm Al Quwain, United Arab Emirates
Sourced Full United Arab Emirates guide →The United Arab Emirates is the Gulf's premium medical hub, built around Dubai and Abu Dhabi and one of the world's densest clusters of JCI-accredited hospitals — including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, American Hospital Dubai and the Dubai Healthcare City free zone. Patients come for cardiology, orthopaedics, fertility, oncology and cosmetic care delivered in English to international standards; Dubai alone drew about 260,000 medical tourists in the first half of 2015, and the government runs a dedicated medical-visa track through the GDRFA.

Confirm your nationality's rule before travelling.

Hospitals in Dubai Healthcare City, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and American Hospital Dubai coordinate approvals directly with the GDRFA.
