Dubai is a global health-tech and medical tourism destination

Dubai’s healthcare industry’s development has helped establish the city as a major international medical tourism destination with a stated goal to attract 500,000 medical tourists by 2020. The city’s proximity and accessibility to the Middle East and GCC markets as well as Africa and Asia, its highly qualified pool of multi-disciplinary medical professionals and internationally accredited facilities and its use of innovative technologies in patient treatment are all factors fueling opportunities for Dubai’s burgeoning healthcare industry.
