While health insurance in the UAE is mandatory, you can purchase private insurance voluntarily elsewhere if you live in Dubai or Abu Dhabi (the two primary emirates within the UAE). In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, employers usually arrange health insurance coverage for their staff. Coverage typically includes basic GP treatment and hospital care.

Other mandatory benefits include:

    • Insurance covering disability and death
    • Insurance covering injuries incurred at work
    • Insurance for temporary disability due to illness or maternity
      Other branches of insurance that fall within the scope of social security
