INSURANCE
Health insurance in the UAE is mandatory, particularly for private sector employees, with strict laws in Dubai and Abu Dhabi requiring employers to provide coverage. All residents must be insured, with the minimum package including hospitalization, emergency care, consultations with general practitioners and specialists, maternity services, tests, and prescribed examinations. To meet diverse needs, UAE health insurance policies are broadly categorized into five types: individual plans, family health plans, employee or group coverage, and critical illness plans, ensuring comprehensive protection and access to quality healthcare.
