Omega-3 Index test in Downtown Dubai, read by a doctor.
Omega-3 Index is one of the most ordered tests by our British-trained GPs for Downtown Dubai patients — and for good reason. Predicts cardiovascular and cognitive outcomes better than dietary recall alone.
Why Downtown Dubai patients use us
From Burj Khalifa residences to the apartments around Dubai Mall and Opera District, Downtown Dubai is one of our busiest home visit areas. A British-trained doctor can typically reach you within 60–90 minutes, whether you're dealing with a sudden fever, need blood tests before a work trip, or want a proper health check without the wait times of a hospital. We also regularly see guests staying at Downtown hotels — if you've fallen ill on holiday or during a business trip, our doctors can come to your room, assess you properly, and arrange prescriptions directly with the hotel pharmacy.
What Omega-3 Index actually tells us
The percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes — the most accurate measure of omega-3 status.
We aim for an omega-3 index of 8% or higher.

Optimal: 8–12%.
Low Omega-3 Index
<4% confers high cardiovascular risk.
