"Healthcare and health insurance in Dubai, can be considered expensive, especially for expatriates and those without employer-sponsored coverage. The cost of healthcare services and treatments in private hospitals and clinics is generally high, which makes having health insurance crucial for residents. The government provides public healthcare services, but these are mostly reserved for UAE nationals, and expatriates often opt for private healthcare providers. Health insurance is mandatory for all residents in Dubai, and the premiums can vary depending on factors such as age, pre-existing conditions, and the level of coverage. While employers are required to provide basic health insurance for their employees, many individuals choose to purchase additional coverage to ensure access to a wider range of healthcare providers and services. Overall, the cost of healthcare and health insurance in Dubai can be a significant expense for residents, particularly for those without comprehensive coverage," explained one expat living in Dubai, the UAE.
