What is Medical Tourism?
Medical tourism refers to the practice of traveling to another country to receive medical care, often a more affordable, faster, or specialised alternative to what may be available in a patient’s home country.
From elective procedures to life-saving surgeries, the scope of medical tourism is vast and ever-growing. In particular, organ transplants—especially liver transplants—have become a prominent driver for many individuals seeking advanced, expert-led care abroad.
The Rise of Medical Tourism in the UAE
The UAE has rapidly transformed into a leading hub for global healthcare seekers, thanks to its seamless connectivity, state-of-the-art medical infrastructure, and multilingual support systems. As per recent reports, the UAE attracted over 500,000 international medical tourists in 2023 alone, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi being among the most visited cities for medical care.
Among the top-tier services sought by these patients is liver transplantation—a complex, life-saving procedure that demands high surgical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive post-operative care. This is where King’s Liver Transplant Centre of Excellence truly shines.
