Sources & Methodology
How We Verify UAE Medical Centre Information
This page explains the source hierarchy, verification checks and update rules used when creating UAE medical centre guides.
Primary Source Principle
For healthcare content, the first source matters. We prioritise official UAE health authorities, official legislation portals, facility contact pages and official patient-service pages over search snippets, social posts or scraped directory data.
Core Official Sources
| Official source | Why it matters | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) | Federal health services, licensing, health laws and Northern Emirates facility/professional licensing. | mohap.gov.ae |
| Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) | Regulator for Abu Dhabi healthcare sector, standards, policies, licensing and patient services. | doh.gov.ae |
| Dubai Health Authority (DHA) | Dubai health facility and professional licensing, Sheryan, standards, policies and circulars. | dha.gov.ae |
| Emirates Health Services (EHS) | Federal public hospitals and clinics, appointments, medical services and health programmes. | ehs.gov.ae |
| The Official UAE Government Portal | Official public guidance on health laws, data protection, telemedicine and national services. | u.ae |

Update Triggers
🔗Broken official links
Pages with broken official links are rechecked and corrected.

Reader-reported contact errors are priority updates.
📋Regulatory changes
New health authority rules, licensing systems or patient complaint routes may trigger review.
🏥Facility status changes

What We Avoid
- Copying unverified directory listings.
- Using AI to invent phone numbers, branch names or doctor credentials.
- Publishing treatment claims without appropriate authority.
- Presenting advertising as medical endorsement.
- Guaranteeing insurance coverage or prices.
