At 4.1 million square feet, DHCC is home to two JCI-accredited hospitals, as well as over 100 commercial healthcare and retail services that follow stringent standards in healthcare delivery. With over 2,000 medical professionals and a patient satisfaction level of 89%¹, DHCC is one of the leading healthcare providers in the UAE. Their vision, implementation of global best practices, and unwavering commitment to healthcare excellence helped to earn them the prestigious Dubai Quality Award².

DHCC currently operates more than 90 outpatient medical centers and diagnostic laboratories, including: Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Academic Medical Center, City Hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Center, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital, Drs. Nicolas and Asp, London Center for Aesthetic Surgery, Dubai Gynecology and Fertility Center, Mughrabi Eye Hospital, and German Heart Center.
