Telemedicine FAQs
How much does an online doctor consultation cost in Dubai?+
Video consultations with Aafiyah Care start from AED 400 for 20 minutes, or AED 600 for an extended 40-minute consultation. Insurance-coded invoices provided for reimbursement.
Can a doctor prescribe medication over video in Dubai?+
Yes. Our DHA-licensed doctors can issue digital prescriptions during a video consultation, including most routine medications. Controlled medication requires an in-person review per UAE regulations.
Is telemedicine covered by insurance in Dubai?+
Most international insurers (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa Global) and many UAE plans now cover telehealth. We issue a coded invoice you can submit for reimbursement.
Can I get a sick leave certificate over a video call?+
Yes — DHA-recognised sick leave certificates are issued where clinically appropriate after a video consultation, emailed to you the same day.
When should I book telemedicine vs an in-person visit?+
Telemedicine is ideal for prescription refills, mild infections, mental health, follow-ups, lifestyle and chronic disease reviews. In-person is needed for physical examinations, controlled medications or anything urgent.
How fast can I get a video consultation?+
Most patients are seen within 1 hour of booking, 7 days a week, evenings included. Book online or WhatsApp us for the next slot.
Can I use telemedicine if I'm visiting Dubai as a tourist?+

"Called at 8am with a fever, had a British-trained doctor at my door by 11. He sat with me for 45 minutes — not the 5 minutes I'm used to. Prescription delivered same day. Felt like having a proper GP again."
"We finally have one doctor who knows all of us. The kids actually like going. Follow-up calls happen without us chasing. Worth every dirham."
"The 40+ marker report came back with a real conversation, not a PDF dumped in my inbox. Caught a vitamin deficiency I'd been ignoring for years."
"After surgery I dreaded going back to a hospital for dressings. Their nurse came every other day, the doctor checked in by WhatsApp. Healed faster than I expected."
"Fell ill on day two of our trip. Doctor in the suite within 90 minutes, full assessment, prescription to the hotel pharmacy. Genuinely NHS-standard care in Dubai."
"My father refuses to leave the house. Aafiyah's team comes monthly, manages his medication, and treats him with such dignity. It changed everything for our family."
