Is Medilife a licensed home healthcare provider?
Yes. Medilife Healthcare Services LLC is licensed by the Dubai Health Authority as a home healthcare provider, facility licence no. 0002464, and has provided home healthcare in Dubai since 2016.
Dubai has around 250 licensed home healthcare providers, according to DHA figures for the first half of 2026. Before you book any provider, ask for its DHA facility licence number and the licence numbers of the clinicians who will visit, and check them with the DHA.
When is home healthcare not the right choice?
Call 998 for an ambulance, or go to a hospital emergency department, for chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, a seizure, heavy bleeding, a severe allergic reaction or a serious injury.
Home healthcare is for problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening. If our clinician finds something more serious during a visit, they will help you get to hospital.
Does insurance cover home healthcare?
You pay us directly at the visit. We give you an itemised invoice and, for doctor visits, a medical report, which you can send to your insurer to claim the cost back. Cover depends on your policy, so check with your insurer.
