Omega-3 Index test in DIFC, read by a doctor.
Most DIFC residents who book a Omega-3 Index with us have either a family history, a vague symptom they can't shake, or a "borderline" result from somewhere else. Higher omega-3 index is associated with reduced sudden cardiac death and slower cognitive ageing.
Why DIFC patients use us

We offer on-site corporate health screenings for DIFC companies, discreet home or office doctor visits between meetings, and our Executive Health Check — a 40+ marker blood panel with ECG and a proper doctor consultation, all without taking a full day out of your schedule. If your company is based in DIFC and you're thinking about employee healthcare, our corporate packages are built specifically for teams like yours.
