Ted Kemp, Chief Content Officer at Khaleej Times, during a fireside chat with Mohammed AlMheiri - Director of Health Tourism Department at Dubai Health Authority, at the 5th Future of Healthcare Summit 2023, organised by Khaleej Times on Wednesday.

The number of healthcare facilities in Dubai have doubled over the past decade, while the number of hospitals in Dubai have doubled in seven years in order to cater to growing demand from residents and medical tourists, said a senior official on Wednesday.

"The number of healthcare facilities increased year-on-year. Over the decade, we have almost increased at 100 per cent, reaching over 5,300 healthcare facilities. Looking at healthcare professionals, for example, they have increased throughout the years," Mohammed Almeheiri - Director of Health Tourism Department at Dubai Health Authority (DHA), said during a conference organised by Khaleej Times.
