Is heart care any good in Dubai?

[Guest]

Hi guys, i am moving to Dubai next month and I was informed that health care in general is not good in Dubai as compared to some other places (for instance India where I am from). Can someone help me with this concern and may be recommend any hospital and doctor I can go to for my regular check up, emergencies

I had a Mitral valve replaced to Mechanical valve and Aortic valve repair on October 2009. I get palpitation attack without notice and I need to get into the hospital to get it back to normal.

Looking forward to a lot replies J

Thanks

Hello. I've not been to Dubai but I work for an engineering company with offices there. I will search our company intranet and ask around for you. Will you be located anywhere particular?

I posted the following on our company website: "I volunteered to ask around for information on health care in Dubai. The person inquiring had one heart valve replaced and another repaired. He gets heart palpitation attacks without notice and when this happens he needs hospital care to return his heart beat to normal."

I immediately received the following reply from an engineer:
From my experience in the UAE make sure that he will have medical insurance coverage with his employer( he should have) but better to be safe than sorry, take copies of medical records and history and register with a local hospital when he gets there. With all these in place there should be no problem. It will help if there is local contact ( maybe in hr) who speaks Arabic to facilitate any issues that may arise.

I will add other replies as I get them. Hope this helps.

The Cleveland Clinic, Rated No. 1 hospital for heart related surgeries, has opened a new hospital in Dubai. I guess the rich middle east families got tired of traveling to Cleveland, OH, and decided to open their own branch there for the Cleveland Clinic.
Here is the web site. You can also Google Cleveland Clinic Dubai for more information.
