Al Sharq Hospital: appointment, doctors, emergency, insurance, parking and map
Al Sharq Hospital, also written as AlSharq Hospital Fujairah, is a private multispecialty hospital in Fujairah. This guide is made for patients who want useful information before visiting: phone number, appointment steps, emergency care, doctors, departments, insurance, fees questions, packages, parking, map, video and official complaint support.
The hospital is commonly searched by people in Fujairah, Khor Fakkan, Kalba, Dibba, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Dubai because it is one of the major private hospital options on the UAE east coast.
Call 800 959 for general enquiries and appointment help. Emergency, laboratory, radiology, inpatient department and pharmacy services are listed as 24/7. For life-threatening emergencies in the UAE, call 998 for ambulance.
The official website often writes the name as AlSharq Hospital, while many users search Al Sharq Hospital. Both usually refer to the Fujairah hospital. Do not confuse it with AlSharq Hospital Dibba, AlSharq Medical Center, Cosmomed, or other AlSharq Healthcare locations.
Address, phone number, email and opening hours
Al Sharq Hospital’s official pages list Fujairah contact details, hospital working hours, and 24/7 emergency-related services. Always confirm the exact doctor, department, appointment time and insurance coverage before travelling.

“Hello, I want to visit AlSharq Hospital Fujairah. Please confirm the department, doctor name, appointment time, consultation fee, insurance acceptance, approval requirement, parking option and how early I should arrive.”
Which care route should you choose?
Before booking, decide whether your case is routine OPD, emergency, maternity, pediatric, diagnostic, health check, surgery estimate or follow-up. Choosing the wrong route can waste time and create extra cost.
Use for stable symptoms, doctor consultation, follow-up, chronic disease care, skin, ENT, dental, eye, orthopedic, pediatric or women’s health appointments.
Use for severe chest pain, breathing difficulty, trauma, heavy bleeding, stroke symptoms, unconsciousness, serious child fever or sudden severe symptoms.
Use for lab tests, radiology, ultrasound, MRI, CT, mammography, report review and health check packages. Ask about fasting and insurance approval.
If symptoms are sudden, severe, worsening quickly or could threaten life, go emergency. If symptoms are stable, book OPD. If your visit may need tests or scans, confirm approval and report timing before arriving.
How to book an appointment at Al Sharq Hospital
The official website includes “Find a Doctor” and “Book an Appointment” options. The booking form asks for basic patient details, department, doctor, date and time. If you need same-day care or are unsure which specialty to choose, call first.
- Choose the right department. Decide whether you need GP, internal medicine, cardiology, gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, ENT, dermatology, dentistry, radiology or another service.
- Use the official appointment option. Open the official AlSharq Hospital website and use “Book an Appointment.”
- Use an active mobile number. The hospital may need to confirm timing, doctor availability or department details.
- Select doctor if known. If you are not sure, choose the department and ask the help desk to guide you.
- Call for urgent or same-day needs. Use 800 959 instead of waiting for online confirmation.
- Confirm payment route. Ask for cash consultation fee, insurance co-pay, approval requirement and follow-up rules.
- Carry documents. Emirates ID, insurance card, previous reports, scans, prescriptions, allergy details, referral or approval papers and payment method.
- Arrive early. First-time patients should allow time for registration, insurance eligibility and wayfinding.
Do not book only by hospital name. Confirm the department, doctor, timing, insurance network and whether tests or imaging may be needed on the same day.
Fees, consultation charges and cost questions
Al Sharq Hospital does not publish one fixed consultation fee for every doctor and department on its general public pages. This is normal for private hospitals because cost can change by specialty, doctor level, insurance plan, approval status, lab tests, imaging, medicines, emergency care, procedures and follow-up rules.
| Cost area | Why price can change | Exact question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| OPD consultation | Doctor level, specialty, first visit, follow-up policy, insurance network and co-pay. | “What is the cash consultation fee and my insurance co-pay for this exact doctor?” |
| Emergency visit | Triage, doctor assessment, tests, medicines, observation, procedure, admission and insurance approval. | “When the patient is stable, can billing explain itemized charges and insurance approval?” |
| Laboratory | Test type, urgency, fasting requirement, insurance approval and report timing. | “Is this test covered today, and what is the cash price if insurance rejects it?” |
| Radiology | MRI, CT, mammography, ultrasound, X-ray, contrast use, reporting time and approval. | “Does this scan need approval, and is the report included in the price?” |
| Maternity | Package type, doctor fee, delivery type, room, anesthesia, newborn care, NICU and emergency changes. | “Please explain inclusions, exclusions and emergency C-section rules in writing.” |
| Surgery | Surgeon, anesthesia, OT, room, medicines, consumables, ICU, implants and complications. | “What is included, what is excluded and what may be billed separately?” |
| Health check package | Package level, tests included, imaging, doctor review, follow-up and gender/age suitability. | “Does the package include doctor consultation, report explanation and follow-up?” |
If your case is not an emergency, call your insurer or TPA before the visit and ask whether Al Sharq Hospital Fujairah is in-network for your exact plan, doctor and service. A hospital may accept the insurer generally, but a specific plan or procedure may still need approval.
Doctors and specialists at Al Sharq Hospital
The official site lets users search doctors by department. Some department pages also display doctors and clinical timings. Doctor availability can change, so always confirm the timing before visiting.
Start with the specialty, then choose the doctor. Ask if the doctor is consultant, specialist or GP, and whether your insurance covers that doctor.
Ask whether the same doctor reviews follow-up reports, whether tests are likely, and whether follow-up is free, discounted or charged again.

Parking, taxi and arrival tips for Al Sharq Hospital Fujairah
Fujairah hospital visits are usually easier than central Dubai traffic, but patients can still lose time if they arrive without route planning, parking expectations or appointment confirmation.
| Arrival option | Best for | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Car | Families, elderly patients, children, maternity visits and patients carrying reports. | Call and ask where patients should park today and which entrance is closest to your clinic. |
| Taxi / ride app | Patients who should avoid parking stress or long walking. | Use “AlSharq Hospital Fujairah” and check the map pin before starting the ride. |
| Drop-off first | Elderly patients, pregnancy, children, pain or limited mobility. | Drop the patient at the entrance first; another adult can manage parking. |
| Emergency drop-off | Sudden severe symptoms or injury. | Use the emergency entrance and let hospital staff guide the next step. |
| From Dubai or Sharjah | Patients travelling across emirates for a specialist, package or second opinion. | Confirm appointment and insurance before leaving because the trip is long and repeat visits may be needed. |
Do not publish a fixed parking fee unless the hospital confirms it. The safest patient question is: “Where should patients park today, which entrance should I use, and are there any parking charges?”

MOHAP and UAE government services that may help patients
Fujairah is one of the Northern Emirates, so private healthcare facility complaints are generally handled through MOHAP routes for MOHAP-registered private medical and pharmaceutical facilities. Emergency numbers are UAE-wide.
| Need | Official route | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Medical emergency | UAE emergency numbers | Use 998 for ambulance, 999 for police and 997 for fire/civil defence. |
| Complaint about private health facility in Fujairah | MOHAP private healthcare complaint service | MOHAP accepts complaints for private healthcare facilities in Northern Emirates including Fujairah. |

Al Sharq Hospital video
This public video gives visitors a visual idea of Al Sharq Hospital Fujairah. Use video only for orientation; appointment timing, doctors, fees, insurance and parking should still be confirmed directly.
If the video does not load, search YouTube for “Al Sharq Hospital Video” or use the hospital’s official website for current details.
Local insider tips for a smoother visit
- Use the exact hospital name. Say “AlSharq Hospital Fujairah,” not only “Al Sharq,” because the group has multiple locations.
- Call 800 959 before travelling from another emirate. Confirm doctor timing and insurance before a long drive from Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi.
- Use morning slots for complex visits. If you may need lab tests, radiology or approvals, morning gives more same-day processing time.
- Carry old reports. Previous labs, scans, prescriptions and discharge summaries can reduce repeated testing and confusion.
- Ask insurance before tests. Many patients confirm consultation but forget lab, radiology, pharmacy or procedure approvals.
- For maternity, ask exclusions in writing. Focus on room type, doctor fee, anesthesia, baby care, NICU, emergency C-section and medicines.
- For surgery, ask for a complete estimate. Include surgeon, anesthesia, OT, room, medicines, consumables, ICU and follow-up.
- For children, bring vaccination card. Pediatric visits are smoother when the doctor can see vaccines and recent medicines.
- For health checks, ask fasting rules. Some packages need fasting or early sample timing.
- Save every confirmation. Keep appointment proof, approval SMS, invoices and reports until treatment and billing are complete.
