FAQs from DAMAC Hills 2 (Akoya) 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 DAMAC Hills 2 (Akoya)?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in DAMAC Hills 2 (Akoya), usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for depression are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
