NMC Royal Women’s Hospital renamed to NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi
The hospital was previously known for women’s and children’s healthcare. NMC now presents it as a family-centred hospital while keeping core women’s health, obstetrics, gynaecology, fertility, foetal medicine and NICU services.
NMC Royal Women’s Hospital, NMC Royal Women Hospital, Brightpoint Royal Women’s Hospital.
NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi, formerly NMC Royal Women’s Hospital.
Women’s health remains central, but the hospital now also highlights pediatrics, family medicine and internal medicine.
When calling, say: “I want NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi, formerly NMC Royal Women’s Hospital, near Al Jazira Club.” This helps avoid confusion with NMC Royal Hospital Khalifa City, NMC Royal DIP or other NMC locations.
NMC Royal Women Hospital appointment booking
The NMC booking portal asks patients to select location, speciality, hospital/clinic, doctor gender, appointment date, time and mobile number. That means the branch selection is important before you choose a doctor.
- Choose the current hospital name: NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi.
- Select the speciality: OB-GYN, antenatal care, foetal medicine, pediatrics, neonatology, family medicine, internal medicine, radiology, pathology or another listed service.
- Choose doctor gender if you have a preference, especially for women’s health consultations.
- Select appointment date and preferred time.
- Enter an active UAE mobile number for confirmation and follow-up.
- Call +971 2 508 2000 or 800 7676 if the booking is urgent or if you are unsure about the right specialty.
- Before travelling, confirm doctor name, branch, fee, insurance acceptance, approval requirement and parking plan.
“I want an appointment at NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi, formerly NMC Royal Women’s Hospital. Please confirm the doctor name, department, appointment time, consultation fee, insurance co-pay, approval requirement, parking option and arrival time.”
NMC Royal Women Hospital fees, maternity cost and doctor fee questions
NMC does not publish one fixed consultation fee for every doctor, maternity case, NICU need or specialist appointment on the public hospital page. Fees can change by doctor, specialty, insurance, co-pay, approval status, tests, scans, delivery type, room and newborn care needs.
| Fee area | What changes the cost? | Ask this before you visit |
|---|---|---|
| OB-GYN consultation | Doctor level, first visit/follow-up, ultrasound need, insurance plan and co-pay. | “What is the cash consultation fee and insurance co-pay for this exact doctor?” |
| Antenatal care | Number of visits, scans, blood tests, NIPT, foetal medicine review and high-risk monitoring. | “Which tests/scans are expected today and which require pre-approval?” |
| Normal delivery | Doctor fee, labour room, room category, medicines, baby care, anesthesia and complications. | “Can I get written inclusions, exclusions and emergency-change rules?” |
| C-section | Surgeon, anesthesia, OT, medicines, room, baby care, NICU risk and additional stay. | “What is included and what could be billed separately?” |
| NICU | Baby’s condition, gestational age, monitoring level, respiratory support, tests, medicines and length of stay. | “How is NICU covered under my insurance or newborn benefit?” |
| Radiology and scans | Ultrasound, foetal imaging, radiology test type, report timing and approval. | “Does this scan need appointment, fasting, old report or insurance approval?” |
| Pathology / lab | Routine blood work, pregnancy tests, infection tests, urgent reports and insurance approval. | “Is this test covered today and what is the cash price if rejected?” |
| Physiotherapy / pain management | Number of sessions, postnatal rehab, back/pelvic pain plan and insurer approval. | “How many sessions are approved and what is the self-pay price?” |
For maternity planning, ask specifically about newborn/NICU coverage. Delivery package discussions often miss the most expensive risk: if the baby needs NICU or extended newborn care, it may be billed differently from a normal maternity package.

Local insider tips before visiting
- Use the current name. Say NMC Royal Hospital Abu Dhabi, formerly NMC Royal Women’s Hospital.
- Confirm the branch. Do not confuse it with NMC Royal Hospital Khalifa City or NMC Royal DIP.
- For pregnancy, ask about delivery coverage early. Do not wait until week 36 to ask about package, insurance, NICU and C-section rules.
- Carry all scan reports. Foetal medicine and OB-GYN reviews are easier when previous scans and lab results are available.
- Ask who delivers the baby. Your OPD doctor may not always be the doctor on delivery duty.
- Ask NICU coverage before delivery. NICU can be the biggest unexpected cost if the baby needs intensive care.
- Use morning appointments for scans and approvals. Lab, radiology and insurance approvals are easier when more working-day time remains.
- Drop-off first if pregnant or with newborn. Let the patient enter reception while another adult manages parking.
- Save every confirmation. Keep appointment SMS, doctor name, approval, invoice and report collection details.
- For insurance disputes, ask for written rejection reason. It helps if you later contact DoH or your insurer.
