- Carry Emirates ID or passport.
- Carry insurance card and policy/network details.
- Carry approval number or referral if your insurer requires it.

Local insider tips for University Hospital Sharjah visitors
- Say “University City Road.” This avoids confusion with University of Sharjah campus buildings.
- Call before visiting on Friday. General hours show Friday 2:00 PM–8:00 PM, but emergency is 24/7.
- Use morning slots for complex visits. If labs, imaging or approvals are likely, morning gives more same-day processing time.
- Carry old reports. Previous scans, labs, prescriptions and discharge papers can reduce duplicate testing.
- For maternity, get package terms in writing. Confirm price, exclusions, NICU, extra stay, complications and refund rules.
- For children, bring vaccination and growth records. This helps pediatrics and neonatal follow-up.
- For cardiology, ask about ECG/echo/stress testing. These can affect time, insurance approval and cost.
- For orthopedics, ask about X-ray/MRI approval. Imaging is often separate from consultation.
- For inpatients, check visitor rules. Children below 16 are not allowed to visit hospitalized patients under the published visitor policy.
- For complaints, start with patient relations. Escalate to MOHAP only after collecting documents and hospital response.
