About American Hospital Dubai
American Hospital Dubai, located in Oud Metha, is a 254‑bed acute‑care private hospital founded in 1996. It is part of the Mohamed & Obaid Al Mulla Group and was the first hospital in the Middle East to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. The facility combines modern infrastructure with a patient‑centred philosophy, aiming to deliver world‑class medical services to residents and visitors of the UAE.
The hospital offers more than 40 medical and surgical specialties, including cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, obstetrics, neurosciences, ENT and dermatology. All physicians are American Board Certified or hold equivalent qualifications, ensuring that patients receive care that meets international standards. Multidisciplinary teams collaborate across departments, supported by a Service Excellence Programme that continuously monitors and improves clinical quality.
American Hospital Dubai is a leader in minimally invasive and high‑technology procedures. It performed Dubai’s first robotic mitral valve repair and a complex robotic hysterectomy, showcasing its advanced robotic surgery capabilities. The cancer programme provides a comprehensive one‑stop service, integrating immunotherapy and state‑of‑the‑art imaging. The laboratory was the first private‑sector lab in the region accredited by the College of American Pathologists, and the hospital holds AIUM ultrasound practice accreditation for abdomen and breast imaging.
Education and training are integral to the hospital’s mission. The Life Support Training Centre is the first private‑hospital AHA International Training Center in the UAE, offering certified courses for healthcare professionals. The Clinical Education Department runs multidisciplinary education programmes, while the hospital’s membership in the Mayo Care Network connects it to a global network of expertise. These initiatives reinforce the institution’s commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainable health outcomes.
