Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

Answer this Question

When we asked members in Abu Dhabi if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...

"Yes, there are a variety of medical specialists available in Abu Dhabi. For highly specialized medical care, people can go to Southern Gulf Medical Services, which provides a comprehensive range of specialized care, including advanced imaging, cardiology, emergency and intensive care, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, pediatric care, and general surgery. Additionally, Abu Dhabi has a few world-renowned hospitals, such as Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, and Abu Dhabi Medical Group which provide highly specialized medical care. These medical centers have state-of-the-art technology and highly trained specialists, making them the top choices for specialized medical care in Abu Dhabi," explained one expat living in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.

"Many people traveled to Thailand or other south east asia for medical tourism. Everything from knee replacement to braces. Typically, standards are good if not better than care in UAE," said another in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
