This page helps you choose the right facility, call the right number, understand appointment rules, know emergency options, check insurance, plan parking, and open the correct map.

How to book a Sheikh Khalifa Hospital appointment
- Choose the correct emirate first. Abu Dhabi, Ajman, UAQ, RAK and Fujairah are different facilities.
- Use the correct call center. Abu Dhabi SKMC uses 80050; Ajman uses +971 6 711 7777; UAQ uses +971 6 706 1111; RAK uses +971 7 244 4444; Fujairah uses 09 209 7777.
- State your department. Say cardiology, pediatrics, OB-GYN, emergency, surgery, urology, diabetes, radiology, transplant, oncology, rehabilitation or other need.
- Confirm doctor timing. Do not travel only because a doctor exists on a website.
- Ask insurance/eligibility. Public, government, insurance and referral rules can differ by facility and emirate.
- Ask documents. Emirates ID, insurance card, referral, old reports, scans, medicines and approval may be needed.
- For severe symptoms, skip routine booking. Use emergency care or UAE ambulance 998.
“I want Sheikh Khalifa Hospital in [emirate]. Please confirm the exact facility, doctor/department, appointment time, cash fee or insurance/eligibility rule, documents required, parking/entrance and whether I need referral or pre-approval.”
Sheikh Khalifa Hospital fees and billing questions
Fees are not the same across all Sheikh Khalifa hospitals. Some facilities are government/SEHA-linked, some may use insurance or eligibility rules, and some costs depend on appointment type, referral and emirate.
| Cost question | Why it matters | Ask this |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation fee | Depends on facility, eligibility, insurance, department and doctor. | What is my consultation cost or eligibility route for this exact facility? |
| Emergency cost | Emergency care depends on triage, tests, treatment, admission and coverage. | After the patient is stable, can billing explain charges and coverage? |
| Tests and scans | Lab, radiology, MRI, CT, ultrasound and pharmacy may need approval. | Is this test covered, approved, or cash-pay? |
| Admission | Inpatient care may include procedures, surgery, recovery and rehab. | What is included, what is excluded and what approval is required? |
| Insurance pre-authorization | SKMCA insurance notes say direct billing pre-authorization can take one hour to seven days. | Is approval already complete, or should I wait before coming? |
| Health checkups/screening | SKMCA notes many policies do not cover health checkup packages and screening tests. | Is this screening covered or self-pay? |
Do not rely on random online consultation prices. Call the exact facility and ask for the current fee, eligibility, insurance co-pay, deductible and pre-authorization requirement.

Insurance rules can change by emirate and facility. Carry your Emirates ID and insurance/health card every time.

Parking and arrival tips
Parking details vary by facility. The safest step is to call the exact hospital and ask where patients should enter today.
| Facility | Arrival tip | Local practical advice |
|---|---|---|
| SKMC Abu Dhabi | Use Al Karamah St / SKMC, not only “Sheikh Khalifa Hospital.” | SKMC has multiple gates/pavilions. Ask which gate matches your department. |
| SKMCA Ajman | Use University Street, Al Jurf. | Ask whether you need General, Women & Children, Diabetes Centre or Emergency entrance. |
| SKGH UAQ | Use Al Salama Area / opposite Ministry of Social Affairs. | Confirm the entrance if going to emergency, OPD or diagnostics. |
| SKSH RAK | Use RAK City, Taween/Dibba Road. | Because it is specialty-focused, carry referral and reports to avoid extra trips. |
| SKHF Fujairah | Use Al Faseel, Fujairah. | For burns/trauma/emergency, call ahead only if it does not delay urgent care. |
If the patient is elderly, pregnant, a child, in pain or short of breath, drop the patient at the entrance first. One adult can handle parking while registration starts.

Government help and patient support
Sheikh Khalifa hospitals include government-linked and public-health facilities, but free care is not automatic for every person or every service. Eligibility depends on emirate, insurance, residency, referral, emergency status and benefit rules.
| Need | Official route | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Ambulance emergency | UAE emergency number 998 | Use for life-threatening symptoms or major injury. |
| Abu Dhabi SKMC appointment | SEHA Mobile App / 80050 | Confirm, cancel or reschedule appointments; avoid missed slots. |
| Dubai insurance issue | DHA insurance complaint service | Use if the issue is with Dubai health insurance coverage/claim. |
| Abu Dhabi insurance or facility concern | Department of Health Abu Dhabi routes | Keep approval/rejection, invoices, reports and facility response. |
| Ajman / northern emirates facility issue | Contact hospital patient relations first, then relevant health authority route | Document doctor name, date, invoice, reports and written response. |
| Insurance approval | Your insurer / TPA / hospital billing | Ask for written approval or rejection reason before planned tests/admission. |
Keep Emirates ID, insurance card, referral, appointment confirmation, reports, scans, prescription, invoice, approval/rejection message and hospital response. These documents matter for claims, complaints and follow-up care.

Local insider tips before visiting
Ask: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, UAQ, RAK or Fujairah? The name alone is not enough.
Say the specialty and symptom. “Appointment” alone may route you slowly.
Original Emirates ID and insurance/health card are essential for registration.
SKMCA asks patients to arrive 20–30 minutes before appointment for registration.
For specialty hospitals, old scans and reports can prevent a wasted visit.
In emergency, the nearest safe emergency department matters more than the hospital brand.
