Description

The UAE's healthcare industry is expected to witness strong growth, due to factors such as strong government support, rising population, and increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases. In addition, higher participation of private participants in the healthcare industry has resulted in improved healthcare infrastructure as well as insurance penetration. Healthcare services in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are world class, and the setting up of Dubai Healthcare City has helped the UAE emerge as an important destination for medical tourism in the region. With such favorable factors, the country is emerging as a hub for medical services in the Middle East.
