Dubai, UAE: Due to the increase in the number of patients needing emergency medicine in the last few years, the emergency medicine industry in the UAE now has an advanced physical infrastructure. Diagnostic equipment and therapies are available in most hospitals in the Emirate. There are now many established large government-run tertiary care centres in the UAE providing emergency care including Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, Dubai Hospital, Rashid Hospital and Mafraq Hospital. The role of professional societies, such as the Emirates Society of Emergency Medicine (ESEM), has become ever more important as they are able to govern the specialty, define its scope of practice, and set the standards of practice for the UAE. |
