Omega-3 Index test in Jumeirah, read by a doctor.
Omega-3 Index in Jumeirah — done the right way: a DHA-licensed nurse to your door, an accredited Dubai lab, and a real conversation with the doctor who reads your result. The percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes — the most accurate measure of omega-3 status.
Why Jumeirah patients use us
Jumeirah's villa communities and family-focused residents are a perfect fit for what Aafiyah does best — continuity of care for the whole family. Rather than a different doctor every time someone in the household is unwell, our Jumeirah families work with one named GP who knows everyone's history, from the kids' vaccinations to a parent's blood pressure monitoring. Home visits, blood tests and IV therapy are all available across Jumeirah, and our Gold and Platinum memberships are particularly popular here for families wanting one less thing to think about when it comes to healthcare.
