Depression care in Business Bay, done properly.
Low mood, exhaustion, loss of interest or sleep problems — confidential same-day reviews with a family medicine consultant in Dubai. We listen properly, screen, treat and refer when therapy is the right next step. Our Business Bay patients get the same British-trained GP every visit, with home or clinic appointments and direct WhatsApp access between reviews.

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.

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.

FAQs from Business Bay patients
Is mental-health care confidential in Dubai?
+
Your consultation with us is private and we do not share details with your employer or family without your written consent. As a DHA-licensed clinic we are legally required to upload clinical records to NABIDH (the Dubai unified health record), where other licensed UAE healthcare providers — and in some cases insurers with NABIDH access rights — may be able to view them.
Will I be put on medication straight away?
+
Not usually. We discuss what's driving the low mood, screen for medical causes, and only prescribe when clinically appropriate — therapy is often the first step.
Can you visit my home in Business Bay?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Business Bay, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for depression are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
