 Healthcare in Dubai can be divided into two different sectors : public and private . Each Emirate is able to dictate healthcare standards according to their internal laws , although the standards and regulations rarely have extreme differences . Public hospitals in Dubai were first built in the late 1950s and continued to grow with public health initiatives . There are now 28 hospitals in Dubai , 6 public and 22 private , with 3 more major hospitals scheduled to be built by 2025 .
