I partially disagree with Jemma on the review about GDC.
I had been looking for a reliable hospital in Abu Dhabi for a while, and when i was recommended GDC, i was a bit skeptical at first, but then found their health services exceptionally satisfactory. I agree, that their nurses might need some training on customer service, but the doctors are probably the best in town, especially the OBGYN.

Great hospital, friendly staff and satisfactory treatments so far. The only down side with GDC is their waiting time AND finding a parking space. Other than that, i’m glad to say that both my family and I have found them to be great healthcare professionals.

my son had a ent operation here on a visit and the ent doc back in the uk said he had done an excellent job. now we are here full time and we are very happy with the children’s doctors, however parking is a problem and we have had long waits but getting an appointment is usually quick. the main problems are systems related (2 examples – i can only get a 3 month prescription for contraception not 6 months on repeat like in the uk which means more visits/fee’s, after your child has been deemed fit for vaccination you have to go buy it from the pharmacy then return to the clinic for it to be administered (not so easy if like me you have other children with you). also rountine things like checkups for babies, vaccinations and adult screening tests (cervical smear test) are up to the patient to schedule when needed unlike the nhs which send out reminders/appointments. overall it is one the better hospitals with some of the newest facilties but even the government send citizens to europe etc for serious illness/treatment so this should be considered an option for those living in abu dhabi who require more than general care.
