Burjeel Medical City
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Burjeel Medical City is a flagship tertiary-care hospital operated by Burjeel Holdings, located in Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Opened in 2018 and spanning over 750,000 square feet across a 16-storey tower, it is one of the largest private hospitals in the Middle East with a capacity exceeding 700 beds. The facility holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and is recognised by the UAE's Department of Health as a Centre of Excellence in oncology, orthopedics, and neurosciences. The oncology department operates a comprehensive cancer centre featuring proton therapy preparedness, bone marrow transplantation, and multidisciplinary tumour boards aligned with international protocols. The Burjeel Medical City Orthopedic Institute is among the region's highest-volume joint replacement and spine surgery centres, routinely attracting patients from across the GCC, South Asia, and East Africa. A dedicated International Patient Services unit provides multilingual coordinators, airport meet-and-greet, visa facilitation letters, and direct billing arrangements with major regional and global insurers. Telemedicine consultations are available for pre-travel assessments and remote follow-up. Procedure costs are materially lower than comparable facilities in Western Europe and the United States, while clinical standards are reinforced by JCI oversight and specialist physicians trained at leading North American and European institutions.
