Dubai has announced a new initiative to simplify medical visa procedures for international patients as part of efforts to strengthen its position as a global healthcare and medical tourism destination.
The General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA Dubai) and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a more integrated healthcare journey for overseas patients, according to a Gulf News report. The agreement aims to streamline services from the medical visa application stage through treatment and post-recovery follow-up.
