Care locations & referral planning
Maternal–fetal medicine care across the UAE
An uncertain scan, a screening result, or a complex pregnancy may need a specialist assessment. Use this guide to understand the diagnostic pathway in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai—and how to start a referral from elsewhere in the UAE.
Start with the question that matters
The first aim is to define the question: fetal anatomy, genetics, placental function, maternal health, or a combination. Send a short explanation first; the team will arrange the relevant records after contact.

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.
Ask the team to coordinate your assessmentUAE-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.
Before your appointment
Keep the earliest dating scan, recent ultrasound findings, screening or genetic results, and the specific question you want answered available. An abnormal screening result and an abnormal scan may need different assessments.
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.
Request an assessmentOnly your name, phone number, city, and brief triage information are required. Do not upload reports; the team will contact you for further details.
