Full Blood Count (FBC / CBC) in Dubai.
The Full Blood Count (FBC / CBC) is the foundation of almost every medical workup in Dubai — and the test most British and Indian patients ask for first when they feel 'off'. It measures your red cells, white cells, haemoglobin and platelets in a single tube of blood, taking under two minutes to draw. At Aafiyah Care Clinic we draw the sample at your home, villa or our Business Bay clinic, process it at a DHA-accredited lab, and a British-trained GP reviews the results the same day — not just a number on a portal, but a written, plain-English summary and a clear plan.
Blood tests, done properly.
Watch how longevity-grade bloods actually work at Aafiyah Care — drawn by a registered nurse at your home or our Business Bay clinic, then personally reviewed and explained by a British-trained GP. Not a PDF and a shrug. Real answers on your biomarkers, your risk, your next step.
Red cells, white cells, haemoglobin, platelets.

Anaemia, infection, fatigue, general screening.
The Full Blood Count (FBC), also called Complete Blood Count (CBC), is the single most useful screening blood test in medicine. It tells your GP whether you are anaemic, fighting infection, inflamed or at risk of bleeding — and it flags rarer haematological conditions early.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Full Blood Count test for in Dubai?+
A Full Blood Count screens for anaemia, infection, inflammation, clotting problems and rarer blood disorders. It is the first test most Dubai GPs order for fatigue, recurrent illness, breathlessness, easy bruising or before any procedure.
Do I need to fast for an FBC blood test?+
No — fasting is not required for a Full Blood Count. You can eat, drink and take your usual medication. We recommend staying well hydrated to make the blood draw easier.
Is FBC the same as CBC?+
Yes. Full Blood Count (FBC) is the British/Commonwealth term used in Dubai's NHS-rooted clinics. Complete Blood Count (CBC) is the American term. The test is identical and the same lab markers are reported.
Where can I get a Full Blood Count near me in Dubai?+
Aafiyah Care Clinic offers Full Blood Count testing at our Business Bay clinic and through nurse home visits across all Dubai areas — Downtown, Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah, DIFC, Business Bay, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills and more. A DHA-licensed phlebotomist comes to your home, villa or hotel suite, usually within 60–90 minutes of booking.
How much does a Full Blood Count cost in Dubai?+
Our Full Blood Count starts at AED 230, which includes the nurse visit, lab processing at an accredited Dubai lab, doctor review of your results and a follow-up consultation if anything needs explaining. There are no hidden fees and no separate call-out charge inside Dubai.
How quickly will I get my Full Blood Count results?+
Most Full Blood Count results are released within 24 hours and reviewed by a British-trained GP the same day they arrive. You receive a written, plain-English summary by email or WhatsApp — not just raw numbers — with a clear plan and follow-up offer where indicated.
Can a Full Blood Count detect cancer?+
An FBC can raise suspicion of blood cancers like leukaemia or lymphoma — abnormally high or low white cells, unusual cell shapes or persistently low platelets are red flags. It is not a screening test for solid-organ cancers; tumour markers and imaging are used for those.
