Fetal-surgery assessment and UAE referral routes

The proposed procedure, the evidence for your baby’s condition, maternal safety, and follow-up must be discussed together. A referral is a request for assessment—not confirmation that surgery is indicated.

Dubai

Diagnostic access. Coordinated referral.

Patients in Dubai can enter the diagnostic and referral pathway through Mediclinic. The team confirms the appropriate facility and appointment during triage. Fetal-therapy procedures are coordinated through the Abu Dhabi programme.

Before travelling, confirm whether your first visit is for imaging, counselling, diagnostic testing, or procedure assessment. These are different appointments and may need different preparation.

UAE-wide referral access

Your city is the starting point, not a barrier to asking.

Families in Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, and other UAE cities can start with the same self-referral route. Include your city and a brief concern; the team will clarify urgency and the appropriate assessment location before travel.

Referral access does not mean a clinic or procedure service is located in every city. Care location depends on the clinical need and the programme’s facilities.

Clarify the planned assessment, possible admission, accompanying-person arrangements, and the pathway if urgent care is needed. Ask where follow-up and delivery will take place; they may require different teams from the procedure itself.

Confirm the named clinician, appointment time, insurance or pre-authorisation, and any preparation with the hospital. General hospital opening hours are not the MFM clinic schedule.

Only your name, phone number, city, and brief triage information are required. Do not upload reports; the team will contact you for further details.
