The Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) is one of the numerous specialised ‘cities-within-a-city’ in Dubai targeted at the healthcare and the pharmaceutical industries. Owned and developed by Dubai Holding under its subsidiary Tatweer, this US $ 1.8 billion development consists of a collection of medical teaching institutions, private hospitals and clinics, pharmaceutical offices and research centres, and spas and rehabilitation centres. It also includes some residential villas, apartments, and 5-star hotels surrounding an artificial lake, and is designed to promote medical tourism.
DHCC is situated on the Oud Metha Road in Dubai, adjacent to the creek and in close proximity to Al Wasl Hospital, and Wafi City. It will have its own Dubai Metro station on the Green Line by early 2010.
Overall, there are 17 hospitals planned for DHCC with a total of 780 beds to be available by the end of 2008. By speciality categorization, hospitals proposed/under construction include:
- Plastic Surgery Hospital I (25 beds)
- Plastic Surgery Hospital II (25 beds)
- Orthopaedic Hospital (20 beds)
- Urology Hospital (30 beds)
- General Hospital I - Cardiology
- General Hospital II - Obstetrics

- University Hospital (400 beds)
- Sports Medicine Hospital (100 beds)

The teaching hospital and post-graduate medical training centre is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The academic centre will have a Life Sciences research centre, a 300-seat auditorium, and the Al Maktoum Medical Library, which promises to have the most comprehensive medical reference collection in the country. Applicants for the post-graduate training programme are sent to Boston for the time being. The University Hospital is expected to be ready by the end of 2008. A nursing school will accommodate 200 students, offering basic and masters level training.
