The Dubai health insurance law no 11 of 2013 which came into passing on the 1st of January 2014, decreed medical insurance mandatory in Dubai. According to this law, all Emiratis and Dubai expats, along with their dependents, are required to have health insurance. The decision to implement this was influenced by the ISAHD (Insurance System for Advancing Healthcare in Dubai) initiative by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). With this health insurance law, Dubai has since been able to reduce healthcare costs associated with routine check-ups, treatment of chronic illnesses, emergency care and for several other medical services.
Many expats move to the UAE accompanied by their families. Living in a foreign country and adjusting to a new way of life isn’t an easy task. In case of any medical emergencies, medical expenses can be high if you don’t have the right health insurance policy for your family. Having a comprehensive insurance plan in place for your loved ones should be your primary goal.
Employers in Dubai are not required to offer health insurance to any dependents of their staff members. This includes spouses and children. Before you move to Dubai, you and your family are going to need to make sure that everyone is covered by private medical insurance, unless your work is especially generous.
