The UAE Government sends its citizens abroad for medical treatment, if the same is not available in the UAE. Emiratis who wish to travel abroad for seeking medical treatment for themselves or their family member/s, may contact the UAE's  Ministry of Health and Prevention to know which country and which medical facility they could visit for treatment.

After choosing or deciding upon the country, citizens could also contact the diplomatic mission of that country in the UAE for additional information on the legitimate and accredited institutes.

After reaching the destination country, UAE citizens are advised to keep in touch with the UAE mission there through Twajudi.
