What are emergency services like in Dubai?

"Emergency services in Dubai, are well-equipped and efficient, with highly trained professionals ready to respond to various emergencies. The city has a modern ambulance service, which is operated by the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS). To call for an ambulance in Dubai, you need to dial the emergency number, which is 998 or 999. Once connected, provide the necessary information about the incident and your location, and the ambulance will be dispatched to your location as soon as possible," commented one expat who made the move to Dubai, the UAE.

"The closest hospital to us was Al Zarah hospital, an outstanding private hospital. In the area there was also the Saudi German Hospital, a range of Mediclinic hospitals and some government medical centers. We were no more that 5 minutes away from the nearest hospital, which remains true for most places in the city. Hospitals and clinics are everywhere. We never did require emergency services, However I have heard that they are reliable," remarked another expat in Dubai, UAE.
