Karama Hospital Dubai: clinics, emergency, visa medical, doctors and map
Karama Hospital is a broad search term. In Al Karama, users usually mean one of three things: a clinic in Karama, the Karama Medical Fitness Center for visa medical, or the nearest hospital/emergency route.
This guide separates those options clearly so you can book the right place, avoid wrong-location visits, check fees, understand insurance, prepare documents, find parking and use emergency care correctly.
Karama Medical Centre: 800 7400
Dubai Health / medical fitness: 800 60
Aster Mankhool: 04 4400 500
UAE ambulance: 998
There is no one official “Karama Hospital” that answers every search intent. For routine outpatient care, users often mean Karama Medical Centre – Al Karama. For visa medical, they mean Karama Medical Fitness Center. For serious emergency, use 998 ambulance or the nearest emergency department.

|---|---|---|
| GP / general medicine | Cash vs insurance, walk-in vs appointment, follow-up rule. | What is today’s consultation fee and is follow-up included? |
