Folate test in Business Bay, read by a doctor.
Most Business Bay residents who book a Folate with us have either a family history, a vague symptom they can't shake, or a "borderline" result from somewhere else. Adequate folate supports cardiovascular and cognitive ageing.
Why Business Bay patients use us
Aafiyah Care Clinic is based right here in Business Bay, at Churchill Executive Towers — which means we're not just covering this area, we're part of it. Whether you need a same-day appointment at our clinic, a doctor at your door in one of the Business Bay towers, or a nurse to draw bloods before you head into back-to-back meetings, our team can usually be with you within the hour. Many of our patients are professionals working in Business Bay who value being able to walk to a proper GP appointment on their lunch break, or have a clinician come to their apartment after hours without losing an evening to a hospital waiting room.
