A true measure of our long track record and commitment to excellence is the Welcare Hospital which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The hospital offers both inpatient and outpatient services that cover a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. Since its inception in 1998, the reputation of Welcare Hospital has reached beyond the borders of the UAE. It has become the preferred choice for local residents and GCC nationals alike. The hospital is staffed with highly qualified and experienced medical and support personnel. It provides accurate, reliable and rapid test results needed to deliver quality care in a timely fashion. Its equipment and facilities are among the best anywhere.

In 2000, Welcare became the first private hospital in the UAE to be awarded the Dubai Quality Appreciation Program. In 2003, Welcare was the only healthcare organization to receive UAE "Super Brand" status, an honor it also received in 2000. Welcare is also certified by the International Quality Standards Association. It is currently undergoing operational reviews to pave the way for Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation.

Welcare has become a byword for medical innovation. In addition to its community outreach programs, the hospital has established a successful Cardiac Surgery Program and a state-of-the-art Ambulance Service.
