Travelling to London for care
Holders of a passport from UAE can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].
Health care in Abu Dhabi
The Department of Health Abu Dhabi is the regulator of the health care sector in the emirate, and it sets the rules on health insurance for the people who live there [4].
Employers in Abu Dhabi bear the cost of health insurance for the people they employ, under the emirate's Health Insurance Law, and Golden Visa holders keep cover for themselves and their families for as long as they live there [4].
Health facilities in the emirate are licensed by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, and licences are renewed through the TAMM government services portal with a digital ID [5].
Abu Dhabi is the federal capital of the United Arab Emirates, and its 2024 census counted a population of 4,135,985 [6].
It is the largest emirate, spanning 67,340 square kilometres with more than 200 natural islands, and the city is home to most federal ministries and foreign embassies and to Zayed International Airport [6].
Arranging a visit from Abu Dhabi
Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in Abu Dhabi, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.
Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.
Time zones and travel
Calls with your doctor are set for a sensible hour in Abu Dhabi, once we know your time zone. If the flight is long, most people prefer to rest on the day they land and be seen the next morning, and your concierge plans for that.
Before you travel, a checklist
A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.
- Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
- A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
- The question you most want answered, written down
- The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them
When you are home again
Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.
Letters go to you in English, ready for a doctor in Abu Dhabi, and your results stay in your record after you leave. Next time you come, nothing has to be repeated.
