Which Burjeel Medical City Hours Apply to Your Visit?

| Service | Current timing information | What you should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency Department | 24/7 | Use emergency care for urgent or dangerous symptoms rather than waiting for an outpatient appointment. |
| General Medicine outpatient service | The current official General Medicine page states outpatient care from 7:00 AM to midnight. | This is department-specific and should not be treated as the schedule for every BMC clinic. |
| Specialist doctors | Doctor-specific | Confirm the named doctor’s date, clinic time and appointment availability. |
| Imaging, laboratory and procedures | Service-specific | Ask about preparation, referral, fasting, contrast, pre-authorization and arrival time. |
