The #1 hospital in United Arab Emirates · Newsweek World's Best
#1 Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi 4.4★
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is a multispecialty quaternary hospital on Al Maryah Island, operated under a management partnership with the US-based Cleveland Clinic and majority-owned by Mubadala (M42). It is one of the region's leading centers for cardiac, neurological, urological, digestive-disease and transplant care, and unlike most UAE government-linked hospitals it publishes an unusually transparent self-pay price menu covering cardiology, urology, imaging and cancer-screening procedures directly on its own site.
