Dubai Healthcare City: Dubai's Most Extensive Medical Project To Date
The Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) is an integration of the best in clinical services, research, and medical education. Basically, two very important zones make up the DHCC - the Medical Community and the Wellness Community. The former is already operational, while the latter is still in the planning stages.
The Medical Community:
This zone, which has an area of 380,902.5 square meters (4.1 million square feet), has seen rapid growth since its establishment. The 80 or so clinics located here are staffed by more than a thousand healthcare professionals, all of whom are licensed by the Centre for Healthcare Planning of the DHCC. This licensing prerequisite ensures that all the services being provided at DHCC satisfy the standards set by the different international accreditation bodies (example, the Joint Commission International).
The Medical Community houses the following medical entities:

* University Teaching Hospital (UH);
* Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical Research (DHFMR);
* Boston University Institute for Dental Research and Education Dubai (BUIDRE).
* Al Maktoum Harvard Medical Library.
The Wellness Community:
This zone, which has an area more than four times that of the Medical Community's (1.77 million square meters or 19 million square feet), is intended to serve as the region's center for integrative and preventive medicine. As the name it carries suggests, this zone also aims to be the region's primary center for the advancement of wellness.
The Wellness Community will have the following features:
* A health and long-term care facility;
* Outpatient clinics;
* A facility for sports medicine;
* A cosmetic services center;
* A center for the promotion of active lifestyle;
* A five-star hotel and spa resorts;
* A residential district with food and retail outlets.
