Private Health CarePractically every kind of doctor of any nationality can be found here in Dubai, from GP’s to alternative medicine practitioners. Who you choose to go to is, of course, a very personal matter, and it’s best to ask around amongst ‘old timers’ for their opinions and experiences so that you find the one which suits you best. Some doctors have their own individual clinics, while others operate in polyclinics offering a wide range of services. Consultation with private practitioners may range from Dhs 250-Dhs 350+ If you want to find a doctor who speaks your language, or is a specialist, or is from your home nation.... try http://www.doctor-dubai.com/
In 2011, this is covered for HCT staff, except for Dhs 50 by the Daman Network including prescriptions. A hospital stay is usually covered 100%. For elective surgery this MUST be arranged beforehand. Daman have there own list of approved Doctors/Hospitals and Pharmacies, who work with them. If you do not use these listed Doctors/Hospitals and Pharmacies you pay first and then you will be reimbursed 80% of what you pay from Daman. USE THE Daman NETWORK if you don't want to pay exorbitant sums of money.
